The longer we hold things in, the heavier it gets. You can share your feelings verbally, crearively, whatever, as long as youre expressing yourself in some way. If we don't, it builds and becomes more complex. It's not healthy to carry it around with us.
As an art therapist, I always encourage people to reflect on their creativity and use that as an outlet. It could be drawing, painting, baking, how you dress yourself, building, or creating. There is no wrong way to he creative and once you figure out what works for you, you have a go-to coping skill that often makes you feel productive.

It's important to share your feelings as it won't simmer inside yourself. Do you know why a trauma is called that term? it's used in medical term, which is about a wound that's afflicting inside the body. There are open wounds, but there are wounds that need some surgery to recover it. The more you just let it away, it could get deteriorate and perpetuate the effects in a later day.
It works the same way with our feelings, the more you conceal it, it will detonate. You could image you'd have lashed out or projected your feelings to others which affect the relationship. And you definitely don't want that!
I believe you just want to ease yourself from lingering thoughts and feelings, hence you could try being honest to others, by placing what you feel instead accusing of what others do. Let others help you to provide emotional supports. You could try first being genuine self of you, and talk with someone with less risk.

Sharing your feelings allows you to both recognize and process what emotions are present in your body. By recognizing these feelings and allowing another to share in that space with you, you can move forward. Additionally, by speaking out loud some of what is happening inside, you are able to recognize and sometimes name things that can otherwise feel overwhelming. Often, when you share something you are going through, you gain new clarity and can move forward with a new perspective. You deserve to be supported and seen in all of life's moments and emotions. Don't be afraid to share parts of yourself that seem vulnerable.

Because by sharing our feelings to someone-anyone, it can sometimes help ourselves to identify with our own feelings and problems. By identifying the root of problems, we can start to see the end of the problem that we're facing. Maybe we won't find a solution right away, it's noemal. But identifying the root of the problem is the start of reaching a solution to the problem we're facing. Sometimes, we won't understand how we feel until we start to question it ourselves because humans are complex being. The answers to these questions have been there all along. We just need to make it clearer by sharing things with others.

It is very important to share your feelings in order to let people know what you like, what you dislike, what are your boundaries, whether there is something in their behaviour which bothers you, if you wish that something is done differently (for example, if someone cooks lunch for you and you don't like too spicy food, you need to tell it to person who cooks for you). With telling our feelings to others we estabilish our boundaries, tell to others that we can't tolerate something because it hurts us or that we really enjoy something and like it very much.

I know that from personal experience, bottling up those feelings can make you feel embarrassed or scared to share and make you feel like you have to go through your hardships alone. It took a lot of time until I was ready to talk about my own feelings, and that's okay. You shouldn't have to share if you don't feel comfortable with it. Don't be afraid to talk to someone you trust, or to one of the many Listeners here, because in the end, it will take a lot off your chest and help you feel a lot more relaxed.

It is so important to share your feelings for multiple reasons. Being open and honest will allow someone to get to know you through your vulnerability in sharing. It is hard for someone to know what you are going through unless you are communicating what you are feeling. It is worse to keep your feelings/emotions pinned up because it will wear on you mentally, psychically, and emotionally. We all need an escape sometimes and opening up about what is going on and how things are affecting us is the best way to feel better. The goal in everything we do is to be the best versions of ourselves.

it is so so important to share your feelings as of you keep all your feelings deeply bottled up in your mind you will most likely become stressed and this could also lead to anxiety and even depression. By sharing your thoughts, you could be saving your mental health and maybe even setting a great example for others around you that could be suffering. i suggest opening up to close friends or family or anyone else you trust a lot. try not to open up to people who have hurt you in the past as they could use this as a way to hurt you.

It is important to share your feelings because your emotions are your mind's signal to the body that something is not entirely right. Therefore, every feeling is valid and has a purpose behind it. Emotions can become tricky when an emotion does not fit the facts of a situation. Your emotions are signaling to your body that something is wrong, but sometimes the intensity of the emotion is not appropriate for the situation. Regardless, it is important to share and talk through your feelings because by doing so, you learn when your emotions fit the facts and when they do not, leading to better internal emotion regulation.

Sharing your feelings helps the people around you to understand what on your mind is. Sometimes, it's best to keep those feelings to ourselves, but things always build up and we might get extremely overwhelmed by our own feelings. So just share what we think, little by little, when we feel confident and when we feel safe. Though it sounds easy, sometimes it's not easy at all. To some people, it takes courage to be able to express themselves, but that's what makes us grow. We share, and we learn from each other. It's so important to have our voices heard since each of us is a significant individual.
