Why is it so hard to show our feelings and what can I do to change?

Question

I mean it hurts that I can't tell my mom I LOVE YOU. Or that I can't cry in front of other people. What can I do to stop being this cold :(

Answer 1

I used to be afraid to do this also but I decided I do not want anyone to die and not know how much I loved them...If I died today I would have wanted them to know..Its important for our loved ones to know these things...If not to them to us...

Answer 2

Usually, when I want to tell someone something that, somehow, I can't do face-to-face, I write them a note.
That way, I can plan out what I want to say, so that my feelings are portrayed accurately, and aren't just strong emotions.
Sometimes I feel like I have no heart, or that I'm really cold. But what helps me, is to be willing to open myself up to others, just listen to them before judging them.

Answer 3

Know the feeling. Write her a note stick it in a nice card and leave it somewhere for her to find. Don't worry about not being able to cry in public. There is nothing worse than some one crying at work.

Answer 4

Geesh, you are not being cold, perhaps you feel that your problems are not as important as others, which in turn makes you feel inferior to everyone thus keeping your feelings, and problems bottled up. You need to start thinking of yourself as a person, and not just someone that doesn't matter. Good luck friend.
