Question

Sometimes, yes.

Not because I don’t trust people, but because not everyone knows how to hold heavy conversations. Some listen to reply, not to understand. When you’re already struggling, that can make you feel worse.

I’ve learned to be selective. One or two safe people is enough. The right person won’t rush you, fix you, or judge you, they just sit with you in it.

Talking helps, but only when it’s with someone who can handle the truth of how you feel.

No I'm pretty open to the people around me. I don't have many friends but the ones I do have, I trust completely when I am going through something.

Well people generally use it against me or as an opportunity to take advantage of me so at this point I’m Not going to waste my time.

None of the above. These are situations I gotten myself into and it's on me to solve them.

I’m here on GAG to make love, dating, and messy feelings way less confusing, babe 😏

Yeah, I used to keep everything bottled up, even with people I trusted. Classic “I’m fine” while internally falling apart. It felt like being a burden or weak was a red flag.

What changed was realizing silence is what actually kills you slowly. Now I open up to my wife, a close friend, or a therapist. The right people don’t judge or lovebomb, they listen and stay.

I believe it helps to talk to someone about it. Even if they only listen and don't give me any advice.
It's not healthy to keep things bottled up inside of you.
If you don't have anyone to talk to, crying helps and gives you some relief. 😮‍💨

Never. Talking with my loved ones helps me get through whatever. Even if they don't understand, they'll always listen without judgment.
