Question

when you have a problem or when you are in a bad mood, do you say directly to a friend or do you expect that they would understand your sadness?

When you have a problem or are in a bad mood, it's generally best to be direct and communicate your feelings to your friend. While some friends may be perceptive and pick up on your sadness, others may not, and it's not fair to expect them to read your mind.

Sharing your emotions can help your friend understand what you're going through and offer support or advice if needed. It's also an opportunity to strengthen your relationship by fostering open and honest communication.

That said, it's important to remember that not everyone is comfortable discussing their emotions, and that's okay too. If you don't feel like talking about your problems or bad mood, it's okay to let your friend know that you're not ready to talk yet. Just be sure to communicate your boundaries clearly so that your friend knows how to best support you.

What you are talking about is mind reading which is negative in that the sad person has an obligation to express their feelings and what is going on. "He should know what and how I feel" or "I shouldn't have to tell him" is not a healthy approach.

No one possesses a magical power to figure out what is going on inside another's head. To assume one does is to be residing in fairyland or simply be in a delusional state. the net outcome of mind reading is miscommunication, misinterpretation, and hurtful feelings assumed form guesses to be truth.

Explain yourself to him clearly IF the relationship is important to you. Good luck !!

Usually I don't say anything, as doing so does not help me. Most don't care, the few that do, can't help me save one, and he can be hard to reach at times and lives far away.

Usually I want to their understand me but I know them. They dont care others or me. Everyone worry about just themselves so I dont suprised that. And I get used to

I would always tell my trusted person exactly what the problem is; it's nice of they can relate but hopefully I'm eloquent enough that I can convey to them what the problem is and why it's upsetting me.

no I let them know I am not having a great day.
after a shitty call my wife pretty much knows to give some space for an hour or so.
she might ask, but I tell her once I tell you, I can't untell you.
she knows what I mean.

I solve my problems ahead of them being a problem and if I am in a bad mood, I want to be alone. So I don't involve friends.

I don’t tell anyone because they would start questioning and annoying me more. why not just let me be and I will solve my own issues alone. I would appreciate that

CreatingWonders · Answer

I don’t tell anyone anything.  They don’t care so why bother.  I just deal with whatever I’m going through alone like I always have.
