Should you tell your friends about your problems?

Give them time to process what you’ve said. Most people don’t know very much about mental health issues so it may be a good idea to tell your friend about the problem itself, but don’t overwhelm them. You could show them a book or website that’s helped you understand what you’re experiencing.

Is it weak to talk about your problems?

Talking about your feelings isn’t a sign of weakness. It’s part of taking charge of your wellbeing and doing what you can to stay healthy. Talking can be a way to cope with a problem you’ve been carrying around in your head for a while.

Why is it important to talk about your problems?

Studies have shown that simply talking about our problems and sharing our negative emotions with someone we trust can be profoundly healing—reducing stress, strengthening our immune system, and reducing physical and emotional distress (Pennebaker, Kiecolt-Glaser, & Glaser, 1988).

Who do I tell my problems to?

Another Trusted Person If you don’t feel comfortable speaking about your issues to a best friend, parent, or sibling, you can always talk to a trusted individual. You can speak to another family member: your aunt/uncle, cousin, pastor, or therapist. For kids and teens, you can talk to your teacher or school counselor.

How Talking to someone can help?

Talking leads to a catharsis, which means a feeling of relief. The charged feelings within us become less charged. Nothing has changed that caused the suffering in our lives, but talking has drained off some of the pain and this brings relief.

Why do other people have an opinion on Me?

Other people have always had an opinion. From early on in our lives, we form clicks. As children, we tend to gang up on others in an effort to not only make that person feel bad, but to make ourselves feel better. Just because someone is different from you, doesn’t make them inferior.

Why don’t people tell the truth?

Everybody has already lied to someone. After that, most of the time people have felt guilty or bad if they expressed their own opinion. But sometimes, people don’t tell the truth just to avoid hurting others because they act like that for the good of others.

Is everything we hear an opinion an opinion not a fact?

“Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.” — Marcus Aurelius People will talk. They always have. And they always will. No matter what you do or say, how you behave, the way you walk or dress, how you act, or the decisions you make, will always be scrutinized by others.

Do your opinions have a basis?

Their opinions have no basis in defining what you’re all about. They aren’t the truth. They have no purpose other than to hurt or harm you. There is no rhyme or reason beyond making the other person feel superior to you in some way or another. But this isn’t something new.
