Why is it so important to share your feelings?

Sometimes keeping in feelings can be bad, but sometimes it can also be good. The times when keeping in feelings can be good are primarily only situations where you wouldn't be safe sharing your feelings. The bad times to keep in your feelings are when you are at risk for depression, anxiety, or other mental health problems. Sometimes when we don't tell others what's going on, our problems get worse. When we tell others what's going on, we can also share with them how they can help to make us feel better. When we do that, we can get the help that we need.

Awesome question!!! I have been learning about this more and more myself, and it's friggen confusing at first. First of all, your feelings are YOUR TRUTH. Secondly, most feelings happen at a non-verbal level and just kind of show up all of a sudden because our feelings were our way of communicating with the world before we were able to speak. Each feeling indicates very important information about what you are needing in a particular moment. For example, I had some strong fear surface recently when my partner was spending a lot of time with a friend who seemed to have all the same qualities that made me special. In that moment it would have been helpful for me to express my fear, and then also my needs. I did not need my partner to stop seeing this person, actually, and in fact, I just needed some reassurance that my value was still being seen, and that our connection was not being threatened. When we expose our feelings, it helps the other person or people know what's going on with us, why our energy is so up or down. It helps them ask questions about what we need. This is super hard, though, for people who have not taken the time to study communication. They feel threatened by emotions of our that may at first seem incompatible with what they actually want. This is where therapists come in. They want to hear what is happening inside you, and are not going to react to it because they are a third party. They can help you figure out how to talk to other people in a way that will create harmony. Something you can also do to support your process of expression is to study non-violent communication. This empowers you to get what you really want and need, rather than feeling powerless to your circumstances. It also humanizes and empowers the other people to really be there for you through well constructed requests. Lastly, I just wanna say, expressing emotions is awkward for all of us, so take it easy on yourself, just practice it a little bit at a time.

There are a few reasons for that: Firstly, certain things which we carry act as an anchor, which will make us harder to move forward. Then the sharing those feeling may help to an extent. Secondly, take an instance, if you are carrying certain problems to be solved, and it is really making you frustrated, sometimes sharing can bring solutions to those problems. Thirdly, your experience can be someone else's lesson too. Fourth, some feelings can cause or create fear, fear cannot stand when it is exposed. Saying it out loud can keep those fear away. Fifth, what if the other might have gone through it or going through it. That way you both can help each other and sort that thing out. I would say there are many reasons you must share. In that way, we would be able to listen to ourselves and to others. And it can even bring peace in our heart.

When feelings are stuck inside they can lead to physical pain, but if you do get it all out you will definately feel better. Keeping your feelings inside is also a way those feelings can grow into something bad, like hurting yourself or others, but when you share these feelings they will become less about physicaly hurting someone. Also when you get your feelings out you can also examine them, explain them and understand them. And understanding our feelings helps us cope with them and deal with them. When others know what you are going through it is more likely they will understand you better, so thats also why it is important to share our feelings. And you can also be an example for others or you will motivate them to do more about what they feel.

It's important to share your feelings on certain topics because you need to be able to express your mind and point of view. You need to be able to show where you are at. Being quiet about a topic doesn't help, the only thing it "helps" is grow sadness inside of you, and that isn't a good thing. Sometimes it'll grow so much you want to take your own life, trust me, I know. Ask someone for help for whatever you're going through, please. I don't want anyone to go through that pain, that suffering. It sucks and affects your mood throughout the whole day. Talk to someone, I promise you it helps.

When you bottle things up inside, it can lead to a big mess. See it as a cup. When you add more water to it, the fuller it gets. (See it as the cup represents you and the water represents your feelings and emotions.) when you let out a little bit of water at a time, as in sharing your emotions here and there (it doesn’t have to be all at once) the cup gets lighter. But if you keep all of it inside, the cup gets very heavy and hard to mange on your own. Eventually the cup will overflow— or you’ll reach your breaking point. That’s why it’s important to share your feelings, because if you have so much going on and you keep it all to yourself, it becomes harder to manage on your own. That’s also why us Listeners are here, you can tell us what you’re feeling and lift off some of that weight. Talking about feelings and emotions is a lot healthier than some people think.

For others to understand the perspective the situation is taken by that person. Allowing communication to build stronger relationships/bonds.

Sharing your feelings with someone whom you trust will help you develop a clarity of thoughts. It happens at times we get in many puzzled situations in life. Here, perceptions play an important role. The person with whom you share your feelings would grant you a perspective that could altogether change your strategy to tackle the problems. Thus, the step of sharing your feelings is important to guide yourself to the path of solution to your problems. And at this platform, one would find ample opportunities to find good people to understand your concerns and deliver perceptions that help your way out of distress.

It is so important to share your feelings because it gives you the opportunity to express yourself and not go through tough times alone. Often times it feels better to know someone else understands what you are going through. I find it helpful to just speaking about how I feel takes a weight off my shoulders. I no longer have to carry the burden of my feelings when someone else is there. Often times you may be shocked by the advice/support others may have to offer to you. Going through life alone is hard and its good to know you have someone else there to open up to.

From a personal experience, I think it's very important to share my feelings with people I trust because it helps me process them. In the beginning I've spent years trying to repress my own negative feelings from the fear of being vulnerable and getting hurt by other people. But over the years I've found that sharing my feelings with my friends help process and release those feelings, especially if it's a difficult one. Moreover, it also helps deepen my own relationships with people I have shared my feelings with, and in turn makes them more comfortable about sharing their own feelings too. If done properly, I sure think sharing feelings becomes a really good growing and learning experience.

Sometimes when we bottle up or keep all our emotions to ourselves, we tend to overthink and magnify our problems. This in turn makes us feel anxious, sad, worried and stressed even more so than usual. However when we talk to someone we trust or someone understanding, we not only gain their perspective on the issue (which can help us realize that we had nothing to be worried about in the first place) but also hear the problem out loud. Many times just speaking about what troubles us helps us realize the actual size of our stressors. However, you are free to decide what you want to share with others. It is absolutely your choice.

I understand how it must feel extremely useless to share your feelings, especially with the fear of being judged and/or misunderstood. I myself have experienced this knot at the back of my throat whenever I had the opportunity to share my feelings. But letting someone in your mind and your fears and your worries and your memories can feel so liberating. If we don't, then everything gets buried deeper and deeper inside of us, and when we least expect it, it all comes out. Slowly building the confidence inside of us to tell people that care about us how we are feeling is not an easy task, but it feels heavenly afterwards. By sharing your feelings, you are not only allowing yourself to be vulnerable and be helped, but you are also understanding yourself a little bit more :).

I cannot speak for everyone but sharing my feelings has provided me an outlet that would help me articulate what events were contributing factors and make appropriate changes where applicable. For me, it means that I generally can express myself and offer some form of connection with others. Sometimes sharing your emotions can inspire and help others feel supported. It can spark the courage in others to speak about their emotions which means they may also have a chance to review the what onsets emotion. I'm not going to say that you must share your feelings but these are some of the reasons I have found in my life it was beneficial to speak about them.

People wish to understand others, its an inherent part of humanity, integrated into our very being. But we are not all knowing. Sometimes, we cannot realise how someone feels without them talking to us about it. And if we wish to help that person, and if that person is important to us, it deeply hurts us too see them not sharing their feelings, their views, their perspectives, their thoughts and keeping it all to themselves, bundled up protectively, afraid. On the other hand, If you keep all your feeling bundled up, and hidden away from others, one day, your emotions might overflow. Imagine a container. The feelings are a stream flowing into a container. Now if you close the lid on the container, and the stream continues, eventually the container cannot bear the pressure anymore and bursts, leaving holes. but if you leave the container lid open, the stream flows out naturally, lightening and easing the burden on the container. Feelings are beautiful. but restrained, they can be harmful. Essentially, Sharing our feelings allows us to widen our perspectives, empathise, understand and above all, realise we are not alone, and that there is a person who understands you and your feelings.

In my personal experience, sharing your feelings helps to relieve stress/anxiety while also bringing you closer with whoever you are talking to. Sharing your feelings helps to clear the air of any tension you may have. Sharing feelings may also help you to move on or understand why you feel the way you do. Sometimes negative thoughts you had in your head can sound less important or silly when you say them out loud. I think it's also a great way to blow off some steam, instead of holding in your feelings and waiting until it's too much.

It is important to share your feelings because most of the time you will feel better after talking to someone about it. If you’re scared to talk to someone or just don’t want anyone to know then you can write about it. Keeping your feelings inside and trying to ignore them is not going to make it go away. It’s just going to make it much worse. If you want to feel better then you are going to have to deal with it. This doesn’t mean that every time you are in a bad mood you automatically have to try to deal with it. Sometimes it’s best to take a break so if you’re not feeling up to it then just do something that you think might make you feel better.

A lot of the time we are not willing to share our feelings because of a fear of judgement. Sharing our feelings is a really intimate event and can expose our vulnerabilities and make us feel hurt if we think about the negative reception we have received in the past to repeat itself or worry about the stigma surrounding what we talk about which leads to us putting our feelings on hold. Not opening up doesn't mean we don't have the vulnerabilities. All it means is we are kind of stuffing it inside us, which may sometimes lead them to turn up autonomously, sometimes in more painful and severe ways. There is of course limits to sharing your feelings. Some of the things shared can be uncomfortable for others to hear and it’s ok to have boundaries up with how open you want to be about what you’re going through. Sharing is a process that comes naturally and does not work authentically if forced. Sharing our feelings is a genuine way to connect with others; friendships and relationships in general often consolidate or take a step further when feelings are shared. From sharing we get the opportunity to connect with parts of ourselves; and it is through such connection with deeper parts of ourselves that we find the nutrition for growth which can make life more meaningful. Do communicate with one of our listeners or therapists if looking for a safe space for self-expression and if you want a listening ear. Self-help guides and mindfulness exercises to are available on our site for more information about any topic of your concern and a way to normalize what you are going through.

Communication is what bonds all humans together. Humans thrive on interaction, without it we would cease to exist. Sharing how you feel is the only way to communicate. To be honest and open with someone is vulnerability. Vulnerability is what creates and ignites relationships allowing them to grow. All these things make the human connection ever so special and rare, which is why sharing your feelings is important.

I think sharing your feelings is a way to get things out of your mind. Sometimes, this can be really damaging to your own mental health if we do not share our feelings with someone. We tend to overthink when we keep our feelings to ourselves. Sharing what you feel about something lets you have another perspective about the issue. Things that might look scary might turn out to be just a small thing that another person might have experienced before. That is why sharing your feelings is important. If you keep it to yourself, one day you would not be able to take it because of the immense pressure on yourself. Taking it out and letting it go would be like freeing yourself. You would definitely feel a lot better after sharing.

Sharing feelings is a good way to prevent those feelings from becoming internalized. It's also easier to self soothe when we externalize our emotions. Once they're out in the open we can slow them down and reason through things. Sometimes when we let strong emotions stay in our head they tend to snowball and get bigger and harder to control. I was diagnosed as ADHD when I was really young, but it wasn't until I was an adult when I started to understand the nuances of how this neuro-developmental disorder would affect me. And the ability to self soothe was one of them. ADHD people often have no choice but to externalize our emotions as this is the only way we can process them.

There are so many reasons as to why sharing your emotions and feelings are important, and to some extent it depends on you as a person and how sharing (and not sharing) impacts you and your own emotions. Some people are naturally sharers, and others may feel less comfortable doing so, but either one (or both) is perfectly normal and okay. Here are a few reasons that sharing can be amazing though! - Sharing can help release anxiety and improve communication. - It can enable others to help or support you, and understand or empathise with the things you are going through. - Bottling things up can lead to depression, and even if someone may not be able to fully understand you, it can be freeing and relieving to vent out your emotions. - Talking can help you to see things differently, and potentially even identify something that could help you that was clouded by emotion before. 7 cups is an amazing place to come and share your feelings if you don't feel comfortable doing so with your friends/ family, from our 1-on-1 chats to forums to community rooms, there is a whole community of amazing people here to support you.

It is SO important to share your feelings in general, whether if it's just to one other person or a couple - so long as you trust and feel safe with them. This is because mentally, we humans are social creatures who need interaction on a day-to-day basis; we need and want to feel safe, cared for, loved and heard. If you don't share your feelings, bottling up will create a heavy burden, a toll on your wellbeing that's constantly going to be plaguing you. Bottled feelings will build up until you can't hold it in anymore, where it would burst either in a form of a breakdown, or some other possibly dangerous and harmful things.
