    I have real problems talking about my feelings. They're clear in my mind but i can't translate them with words when i try to talk with friend or family. But mostly i just don't feel comfortable telling people how i feel, i'm a very private person. For instance, my mum saw me when i was on this forum, she asked me what it was i told her the truth, that i had doubt about my sexuality. She wanted to talk about it more, but i couldn't, i didn't want to, i felt ill at ease, i wouldn't find my words...
    Are any of you having the same problems ? Well, idk if "problem" is the word, maybe it is just how i am ...

    I can relate totally, I know I lack a bit of social skills, but when it comes to feelings I just can't let the words out, I don't know why, but it's like my head prevents me from speaking.
    I am trying to be more socially active, you know, trying not to be that way over introverted guy. As for these feelings I have "locked up" inside, next month I'm going back to college and I'll be attending some lgbt meetings, cause there happens to be a centre close by and I think it is the perfect place to meet people experiencing these feelings I am going through right now. Perhaps you should give it a try.
    P.S. Although I intend to go to a meeting, I'm still building up some courage to show up there. I'll post here the experience if I end up going.
    Hope it helped.

    I use to be like this, in fact I can sometimes still be. I'm a very emotional person and it feels like everyday I'm fighting back tears but believe it or not a cry like once a year most or the things less then that. I think that's very unhealthy. I would like to cry more because crying is part of the healing process but I can't talk about the way I feel because I hate to play the victim. For me the most important feels are the ones that make me mad and sad but I don't like to be either of those things so I don't talk about them. Feeling that make me mad I have started to share but the sad feeling I still haven't learned to release them yet but I'm sure I'll get there and then I'll be all water works. Lol
