Tired of being strong (emotionally)
Are you the type of person who your friends thought of a fun person who RARELY gets sad and would often come to you to rant and ask advice when in reality, there are times when you can't handle everything at once? WELL I GOT NEWS FOR YOU I am like that as well HAHA! Tbh sometimes find myself really sad but I can't even cry about it. Dry tears I'm telling ya! I'm not that type to be called emotionless but when it comes to being sad for myself, I couldn't really bother to burden other people with how I feel. But the weight of everything really pulls me down and sometimes I overthink whether itll be better to be someone who is more open on beings sad than being the "class clown" all the time... they often tell me that I'm strong from putting up from a problem I experience when irl I ugly cry by myself and get over it lol.
Do you have times like this as well? How do you cope with problems quickly?
For me the problem are my parents. They're always at each other throats and there is so much tension that I recently started suffering of anxiety and feeling like my throat is constricted. And my mother is always talking to me about her problems that I can't tell her that my not feeling well is partly her doing. Today I finally snapped and cried in...... reply
I am very much like this, I used to hate opening up about my problems and it really had a negative impact on my mental health. I still don't like for people to see me cry, and I do prefer to cry in my room alone, but after a certain point, when I was finally in a space I felt comfortable to cry in, those tears never came.
I was lucky enough to fin...... reply
I just try to be as positive as possible, if a bad thought puts me down I would just smile (which doesn't actually work most of the time) or to quickly think about something else. But still its really hard to stay positive 24/7. reply
So I try to be strong most of the time. My dad’s an alcoholic who really likes to falsely accuse my mom of being a cheater and would even call me and my siblings just so that he can verbally abuse my mom on the phone whenever he’s having what we call one of his “episodes”. I’m an older sister so I want to be someone that my younger siblin...... 3 reply
I know that feeling. I just don't want to show them I'm vulnerable. My family would just ridiculed me for being weak. My room is the only place I can cry. Even when I attend boarding school, i will keep everything inside me and burst into tears when I finally reached my room. People in my school just want to be friends with people who are cool.

I also have times like this, I'm pretty shy but the thing is since I have an emotionless face people end up thinking that I'm emotionless and can treat me however they want. I'm not emotionless, I'm just too shy to reply to anyone when they talk to me (I tend to overthink things). But I had this friend once and she was annoying as hell, she'd slap ...... reply
same here, i always seen as a person who doesn't carry any burden or happy go lucky. but nobody knows that i'm struggling. i have this mindset of trusting no one, i won't cry in front of anyone coz i don't want to project myself as vulnerable person and especially i always keep in mind that im effin ugly when crying. as the result if i feel upset, ...... reply
I'm like this as well. I'm quite a pessimist and also a cynic. I have so much trust issues that I don't easily trust anybody. Not even with the smallest things. My friends keep telling me that I am so happy-go-lucky. They're wrong tho. I am very sensitive. I just don't like to show my emotions because I feel like if I do they might use it against m...... reply
