Venting Should I tell them?

[Ginnn]

I am afraid that if I share my feelings with the only people I talk to, they will go away completely. They are young and energetic people, I don't want to bother them with my negativity and I don't want to put on a show. But on the other hand, I feel like I can't keep it all to myself anymore. What should I do?

Don't do it.

I wouldn't personally, I think that often sharing how we feel can make things worse especially if other people don't understand what we are going through and view life in a completely different way. There is also the risk of them saying the wrong thing as well.

depends on whether or not theyre real friends. my friends want me to share so they can hug me better (help as best they can considering the circumstances)

If you need to talk to someone, definitely consider a therapist, a hotline, or a parent. Friends won't be comfortable hearing about ctb

Depends. Do you want to be locked away in a hospital? Do you want to talk for hours only for your words to fall on deaf ears? I would say sure. Go for it, just to see what the response would be. And when you're disappointed by that response, you can come back to SS for more answers.

Are they much value to you if you never open up?

Be ready for textbook responses if you do. Stop thinking/talking like that, it's a permanent solution to a temporary problem, don't be stupid, it would never come to that, why do you talk like that... so on and so forth. You may get lucky and have one friend who actually cares and is willing to talk but then you have to hope they don't use your 'opening up to them' as a conversation piece with others. Which they most likely will.

Id rather be alone, as i feel as if its a personal event for myself.
