I try really hard to keep it to myself but lately I can't like I used to.

I keep them to myself. Mostly. Some of them are outright vicious. But I keep them to myself. In the words of Ralph Wiggum, "I'm learnding supernintedo chalmers!" With patience and time I think things will be fine.

I let others in..or if pissed off..waaay out the door.

It's best to let it out.if I keep it inside me,I think I be only hurting myself.Meditation also takes edge off for me.

I used to share a lot emotionally, especially when I was down or depressed. Eventually I grew weary of sharing so much with so many for the sake of a short-term empathy fix, if you will. Nowadays, when I think it's necessary, I have a very few close friends in whom I confide my emotions, and I make sure to let them know when I'm feeling better as well.

I try to, but have been shut down so many times, that I am generally hesitant to really open up, even to close family and friends. I feel like everyone only knows a small part of me and are missing the bigger picture.

As I realize my own mortality (lol, sounds a bit morbid), I'm working on trying to toughen up and not allowing others to get me down when I open up. It's certainly a process

Pretty much keep things between me, my lovely wife, and Zorak the wonder dog. After all, they're the only ones that really count.
