Do YOU like to talk about your feelings?

[Crimson Dynamo]

Like with your partner or parents or bf?

Or do you prefer to keep things to yourself and away from others?

I'm not great at talking about my feelings but I'm a great listener to other people's.

This tbh. :joker:

But I do have my moments when I need to and it always leaves you feeling lighter.

Like Annie and Marsh, I'm much better at listening to others talk about their's. There's only a few people that I would really open up to, so to answer the OP's question, I'm not great.

[Crimson Dynamo]

That sounds scary

it works tho. i prefer to have a date to talk where i know that is what we are doing and i cant get out of it

[SherzyK]

Yes.

[Brother Leon]

I used to be really closed off and never really expressed how I would be feeling or not what I may be going through. That resulted in me going through really dark times. Since I’ve been married though, I’ve began to open up more and I’m a lot less shy about being openly emotional.

It depends on what the issue is for me.

My relationship with my husband is the type that if any of us feel the need to talk we do so when needed, we wouldnt schedule a specific day or date, that would feel forced and awkward imo our way has worked well enough for us for 22 years.

[rusticgal]

I’m an open book...and I’m a great listener. It’s always great to talk.

[caprimint]

I'll talk with a few people occasionally who I consider being close to or who I feel are trustworthy, but often I'd much rather just keep things to myself and let other people talk about themselves

[Alf]

I'd need to pissed out of my skull, to start going deep.

One of the best bits of advice ( I think i read) for the children was ( and good advice for all men) was instead of trying tp thnk of solutions to things instead you say "oh i see, so how did that make you feel?"

So when one of the brats would say "dad i am so cross as Sophie Carmichael said I had fat ankles and Rosy MCBeth laughed" or "dad the teacher was so unkind about my art today and i did the best I could" rather than say "well you should have slapped her mouth" etc you say "oh I see how did that make you feel?" and then they rant on for 5 minutes and they feel better and that you have listened :)

This is cute

I would say as well sometimes it feels really good to talk about things, I used to think what's the point etc and try not to bother anyone else with it, but I've learned that actually some people do care and are willing to listen/even help you and that's refreshing. Talking can be super helpful when it's to the right person

[smudgie]

I have no problem letting people know how I feel.
Sometimes I don’t even have to talk :joker:

...this is also cute...yeah, some people do care very much and are worthy of your trust and I’m glad that you’ve experienced some ‘right persons’ in your life..:love:...

[Kizzy]

I am rubbish.. my daughter tells me everything but by lad is a closed book and that's upsetting. I dont like to burden people so I say nothing, which I know isn't healthy but I can't help it.

[Kazanne]

It depends who with , some people I can open up too,obviously my hubby and bestfriend, but don't like to confide in just anyone, I have to feel they are trustworthy.

If by ‘talk about my feelings’ you mean ‘ask the barman for a double vodka’ then yes, I’m bloody brilliant
