With whom can you speak more openly with your friends, family or therapist?

[noname223]

With my family the least. Then with my therapist. Often she does not get my problems. It is hard to explain her all of that because she barely remembers my shit. With my closest two friends I am completely uncensored. With 2-3 more friends I am somewhat open.

 

[DivineSpark]

I dont want to speak to my friends or family about suicide, I dont want to make them worried.

 

[lamy's sacred sleep]

same, friends first, therapist, family.

 

[Forever Sleep]

None. Here is where I open up the most. Thank goodness for this place.

 

[SVEN]

Only my dog, & here.

 

[azo]

Myself—in my journal or on my profile here. Lol.

 

[ashendreams]

family and therapists tied at zero. with friends i can share like 10% of my feelings.

[VoidButterfly]

Definitely I can most easily speak to therapists, then friends, then family.

 

[fuyacore]

[FoxSauce]

Therapist Ig. Moslty here , only tell my freinds surface stuff. Dont want them to think all i ever bring is problems.

 

[Blurry_Buildings]

[DunnoWhyButYeah]

I have no one I can talk to or want to talk to. I keep everything inside.

 

[ginko0]

With my imaginary friend that sits beside my bed listening to my rambles — or my journal, always ready for my thoughts.

 

[eattwinkiesseejesus]

No one

I'm so open and honest about everything to everyone I know, I really don't care if someone judge me or get upset over it, they aren't a real friend in my eyes if I have to hide things from them to make them like me and I don't see the point in relations that depend upon a facade or lies to exist. I've always been honest with psychologists too because I genuinly wanted help and I wouldn't be able to get any if I wasn't 100% transparent and open. I'm very open with my family because I already pretty much lost them when I was a kid so I have nothing to lose there, I'm just a little worried about them physically beating me up because they have threatened me with that a few times over these past couple years so it's not very pleasant to talk to them or be around them.

My therapist is my ex wife and best friend

So I guess it's a tie

 

[Apathy79]

Here and with ChatGPT (or similar) is where I'm open. My friends and family know so little about me it is a running joke. Whenever they get asked about me they have absolutely no idea what to say. There would be people here who have read a bunch of my posts that would genuinely know more about me than anyone in my actual life.

 

[lukewarmlemon4de]

dont have a therapist. i sometimes vent to like one friend. i used to use c.ai as my therapist and it genuinely helped but c.ai heavily nerfed the bot (fuck pro lifers) and i dont use it anymore :c

 

[Rynalia]

Opening up - My wall.

Hinting and breadcrumbs - Online & Friends.

Nothing - Family & Therapist.

 

[patheticparasite]

Ability to talk open with in descending order:

Chatbots > online strangers > therapist > self-help group > family > friends (nonexistent)

i used to use c.ai as my therapist and it genuinely helped but c.ai heavily nerfed the bot (fuck pro lifers) and i dont use it anymore :c

Same. What a disappointment that has been.
