Imagine a phone ringing. It keeps ringing and ringing but we ignore it, because it is someone we don't like. After years of ignoring this constant phone ringing, trying to plug our ears with cotton balls and loud music, our mind is exhausted and the phone simply gets louder. Until eventually, we feel that the only way to escape this ringing is by removing ourselves from the situation. If you pick that phone up, and listen...the person calling is just an older version of you. It says "Help me, I'm hurt. I need love, empathy, and care. I won't have to ring this phone anymore if you just let me into the room." If you can do that, you will forever be in control our your emotions. Empathy for oneself is the key to self-regulation.

okay, so this can be an important question. feelings come from emotions, and emotions come from thoughts. Feelings are connected with our perceptions of the world, of every situation we encounter in life. 2 people can look at a bush of roses, one can see the beauty of the blooms, and the other the danger of the thorns. It is important to express our feelings so the other person can see the world from our point of view, and we can see it and understand it better through their point of view, It doesn’t mean that we accept their view, but it can help us understand their thinking process.

It is very important to share your feelings so that you get the support that you need. Many people don't realize this but the first step towards feeling better is definitely expressing yourself. Sharing your feelings can also help other people put themselves in your position and it can help them help you. It is a good thing to do also because simply talking is good. keeping things to yourself is also unhealthy and can even further raise other issues. Telling someone that you are sad or angry and help resolve that. A problem shared is a problem halved. :)

It’s important, because, sharing how you feel to other people, will give them a better insight on how you are feeling or doing. It’s also very healthy to share how you feel, if you bottle your feelings up, you will be doing more harm than good to yourself and others. Also sharing them will make you get to know yourself better, if you voice them verbally, you can be like, “Oh this is how I feel, and I can work on this certain area.” It truly does give yourself a better knowledge about who you are as a person and to others. That’s why it’s so important to share your feelings.

It is important to share your feelings so that people can help you. If you don’t tell someone they make you feel bad in some way, they won’t know to change. Also, I find that just talking to someone makes me feel better and helps a lot. I tend to feel very stressed and depressed when I hide all of my feelings inside me, instead of telling someone. Even telling someone you don’t know makes a huge difference. There is nothing wrong with how you are feeling. You are not the only one who feels that way. You are not alone ❤️

Keeping feelings all bottled up inside is only a temporary solution and not something that I suggest you ever do. Holding in such emotions will only prove to be toxic and worsening your situation. You need to get that toxic poison out before it starts to eat away at you. There is no excuse anymore because now you have me and the other listeners on here who want to help you and care about the way you are feeling. You are not alone. Talking about anything that is bothering you will only prove beneficial. If you want to be the best version of you that you can be then you need to have a healthy mind body and soul.

How is anyone going to know if you aren't going to share? Maybe you don't want the world to know but at least some loved close people should have an idea with what you are going through. They can't read your mind, you know, as much as you would like that. It is important to share what you feel so that you can find people who understand, people who can relate, people who can ultimately help you, lift you up. By keeping them all in, you are not dealing with them, you are just repressing them and repressed feelings almost always resurface. So, unburden yourself. Sharing is after all, caring

Sharing your feelings is important for so many reasons. If you keep your feelings to yourself, you risk to burst at some point. If you share your feelings and let them out, first of all it can help you process them and handle them better, and secondly it helps the others around you to understand you, to know you better and to know what matters to you, what bothers you, what you like and dislike, how they can help you. By letting others know your feelings, you let them in and they're more able to help and to share their feelings in return. Don't be afraid of sharing your feelings (with the right persons)!

Feelings are important to share because when we have someone who listens, it can help us navigate the feelings better. Feelings alone aren't always reliable guides. It can help make them more reliable when you have someone to bounce them off. Even if that person doesn't fully understand them, sharing the feeling can help the sharer better understand the feeling and what to do with it. In my experience, I have felt better sharing the feeling behind something. It forces me to look beyond the events to reveal more of my actual self, the one that isn't really seen to anyone but me -- and I'm the one that needs the nurturing, adventure, guidance, etc.

Based on my own experience sharing your feelings feels like there is a weight that falls off your shoulders. I used to keep my feelings to myself , afraid of judgements or not being understood by others, but keeping it in was only making me feeling worse. I felt irritated and sad and it was making me reacting angry and defensive towards people but since I started to share my feelings I started to feel a lot more relieved and a lot less stressed, even if I didn't find a solution to my problem and I think sometimes people don't want a solution, but they just need someone to listen and make them feel like they are not alone and they are always people who are willing to listen and emphatize, whether it's a family member or a friend so go out there and share your feelings, I guarantee you that it will be worth it
Have a helpful insight? Don’t keep it to yourself.
