Under Wraps

Someone remarked that I'm uncomfortable discussing feelings and emotions, specifically my own. That person has great insight into my character. I guess it's true that I put much of my feelings under lock and key. Now and then, it leaks out, and even when it does, I don't express it fully. Sounds so repressed, doesn't it? I don't know, it's just me. Or I haven't found the key yet. I hope I don't drown under the flood waters when the gates finally open... or perhaps I'm already drowning...

ah... kinna similar to me in someways... but recently i understand that it's better to yell it all out NOW rather than keep those feelings insides... like what i'm about to do now... WTF you mean!!! effortless!!!?

Take your time. Perhaps you haven't found the key/person/reason yet.

Though I feel it's unhealthy and I have no idea how men in the olden days do it ;P

Cheers. ;P

Sometimes we can't talk about our feelings cos we haven't sorted them out. Or we can't put words to them. Or we haven't found someone we trust to share with.

Put it into writing. Be a good friend to someone, so that someone can be a good friend to you.

Its choice that you made to keep it inside. To find the key to unlock the lock....well..to be..i dnt think there is a lock or key. To me, its just a door that can only be opened from the inside by you and you alone. Ppl may knock, bang, push or pull the door, but it will never open cause only you choose who to open the door to.

It doenst have to be only one person that the door can be opened to. It can be to selective few, but who ever you choose to open the door too, I think so far only one person has or was close enough to open tht door and that was yr mom.

i think i can say that i know alittle better than most..:) and its not easy even for anyone to open up and bare their soul for various reasons like unable to put it to words, scared what others might think.... worse off, masuk Jerry Springer je..hahah. sure can express feelings and more in that talk show..

I dunno you to pass that judgment about you.

Some people are like you and can only talk about their emotions with certain individuals.

I'm an open book, which is a totally bad thing. But good thing I'm a selective socialist.

@Daniel:
Effortless-- so sensitive meh.. Hehe.

Time. In good time.

@Bunny:
"Be a good friend to someone, so that someone can be a good friend to you."
This is very meaningful indeed. I'm proud to say that I have friends that I count most dear to my heart, but still I do not reveal all.

@Anon:
This reminds me of the symbolism of Jesus knocking on the door.

@Mel:
I choose Oprah!

@Venge:
You can always choose to be an e-book and publish online. :D

Thanks everyone for the comments. *Hugs*
