venting feels embarrassing

[39hatsune]

does anyone else find it really embarrassing or uncomfortable to like talk to anyone about how you feel?? sometimes, im really not doing well but saying it out loud to someone feels so cringe LOL so i just keep it to myself and suffer by myself

even something as simple as like, are you okay- i could be dying at that moment and id still force myself to say yes

or failed attempts.. thats the worst of it.. it is so embarrassing i have no idea why

but i wouldnt feel like this if someone opened up to me, its only for myself for some reason

It's not embarrassing or cringe, I can't think of a better use for language

haha i know that its not really, just feels that way in the moment and id rather just avoid it altogether

It feels incredibly embarrassing to be seen in a vulnerable state. At least you're with like-minded people who probably understand what you're going through.

it feels very uncomfortable and cringe for me to admit how I feel too. Not feeling comfortable putting that much burden on people if i actually admit to it. It makes me seem weak too.

I'm a chronic over sharer sometimes. I only feel embarrassment if someone is awkward about it.

I feel that way too. Everyone around me expects me to be cheerful and outgoing all the time, so there's added pressure to not to. It doesn't help that the few times I've cried or opened up to a therapist they treated me like a freak! I find journaling that helps personally.

I find that kind of small talk in real life so tedious nowadays. I mean, come on, has anyone ever told the truth when asked that question? How are you? I could be feeling like absolute **** and I'll put on my best fake smile, look up and say hey I'm doing good, how about you?

Still got to play the game as long as we're alive I guess. Be social and all that jazz.

This is so relatable, I struggle to open up about my feelings or past traumas because I don't like getting emotional in front of others. I also have pretty bad trust issues

Same here. i just bottle it all up now, even if it's killing me
