Why is it so important to share your feelings?

I personally think it is important to share your feelings to connect with those around you - who may have felt similar before or may in the future - and to keep a healthy flow of energy and emotions through the body. To share your feelings is to bring into the outside reality what one is experiencing on the inner reality. This is a gift to the world to share. It is much better a gift to share this and bring any darkness to light, than to have everyone in the world bottling up the dark parts of being human, simply for each and everyone of us to hide within this darkness alone...Seems much brighter if we all do it together through sharing, listening, and compassion.

It's important to talk to people sometimes. Feelings can show us about ourselves and can be very meaningful to ourselves and others. Just saying I love you is a common feeling that our caregivers tell us or people who appreciate our company and presence in life and the world. Sometimes sharing feelings can help us think clearly or give others a sense of purpose and direction. Although it is not necessary to share every feeling you experience minute by minute, it is a practice some people observe more than others, and some people believe it is extremely important. You can try sharing feelings and see if it can take you to a positive place of enlightenment, etc.

sharing your feelings can be extremely helpful. it makes the person feel better most importantly and the people around the person will also get a better idea on how they should communicate with the person. keeping your feelings to yourself can cause quite a lot of pressure, and this can have adverse affects on your physical and mental health. sharing your feelings also helps people understand you better, it is effective in getting your point through to people. it can be hard to share your feeling with people, but it does help a lot and the person feels much better later on.

It is important to share your feelings because first it helps you release some positive and negative emotions out by sharing them with others. You get to communicate what you feel, what you need, what you like, what you don't like through sharing feelings. For other people, when you share your feelings in an effective non judgmental and non-blaming way, they would be able to hear your message clearer and decide whether or not to respond to your needs. Suppressing feelings, especially negative ones can lead to multiple problems such as stress, depression, resentment, anger, sadness etc. Knowing how to share your true feelings without attacking others also requires some practice as well.

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.

Sharing helps others and its therapeutic for you.
