Lets Talk About The Problem

The problem is that I’m not good at talking about my problems. I am not comfortable telling people what bothers me. I feel the more people I talk to about an issue the more it grows. Its like the problem becomes tangible once its spoken out loud. And its almost non existent if no one knows about it.

People often tell me that sharing your problems with somebody lessens the burden. I don’t think that works for everyone. Certainly not for me. Whenever I’ve tried “sharing”, It has always made me regret later.

I know some people who can’t deal with their issues unless they have told somebody or uploaded a status about it. Which perhaps does make them feel better.

But I guess its different for all of us. We all are different in our ways of expression and our ways of coping. I just don’t feel comfortable enough to let people in on my dilemmas. Its not that I’m afraid to be vulnerable, or I don’t want to appear weak, its just that I’d rather figure things out on my own.

And I have actually gotten better at dealing with my shit by myself. I’ve learnt there’s no point fretting or whining. My problems cant be solved by anyone else but me. And really, my personal problems are the last thing I want to talk about with anybody. The only favour anyone could possibly do me is to leave me alone and let me get things in perspective and I promise I’ll be alright.
