Hard Time Expressing Emotions

494 Words2 Pages

I have always had a hard time expressing my emotions. I never want anyone to see what is really going on inside. I always have just gotten over what I am feeling and moved on. As my problems became more and more complicated I began to always feel anxious and sad. At this point in time my mother and I weren 't as close as we are now. When I thought I had hit my lowest point, I kept it to myself. I knew my mother already had her own issues and I didn 't believe what I was feeling was a big deal.
I don 't remember exactly everything that happened, but I do remember the constant fighting and crying. My stepdad, we call him Johnson, had been lying to my mom about a handful of things and it was causing them to argue. I remember always asking my …show more content…

Thursday night I went to my dad 's and I didn 't hear from my mom. Friday night I went to a school dance then spent the night at a friend’s house. That night I was anxious about how my mom was doing. I hadn’t heard from her since Wednesday night. Saturday morning my dad came to pick me up and he told me that my mom was in the hospital. He wouldn 't tell me why and kept dodging my questions. I went back to my dad 's house and took a shower. As I was almost finished getting ready I got a call from a random number. I had a feeling that it was my mom, so I answered. I immediately started crying because she told me that she just did something stupid, I knew what that meant. When we went to see her I was so upset that she was hurt. I hated Johnson for what he had put her through. My mom got out of the hospital and came home. I thought everything was a lot better and we could finally move on. Soon after she took him back. She knew that my brother and I wanted nothing to do with him. That didn 't affect her decision, though. I have matured so much in the past four years. The whole situation made me realize that trust must be earned. Breaking someone’s trust can change a lot of things. I didn 't notice this right away, but it is a lot harder for me to open up to people. I always question what people 's intentions are because I don 't want to hurt the way I saw my

She waited a great amount of time and made sure we knew about him before we even met him. She of course asked us how we felt about him being with her and if we would ever want to meet him or not. I cannot exactly remember what I answered to those questions, but I am sure they were nothing positive. Therefore, from that point it was of course our time to meet him. Let’s refer to him as “Adam”.

And she apologized and said she “didn’t realize” she was hurting me. We are definitely not close friends at all, but we don’t ignore each other and we talk at church, but it will never be the way it was and frankly I am glad that this “obstacle” happened. It was a big page turner and I like to think of it as a blessing in disguise.

This is where the question of “Do I like who I am?” comes into play. Self-esteem, more so than the other major components of self, weighs heavily on how one interacts with others. For instance, if an individual is insecure about their uneven teeth because they are viewed as an imperfection, one may be less likely to willingly interact with others in fear of judgment. This lessens the amount of friendships made and overall lessens one’s confidence. On the other hand, if one is secure of who they are, it is evident in the way one communicates and their good feelings associated with life in

However, I am not an outwardly emotional person, so no one truly knew how I was feeling. I was essentially blaming her for our family being divided. Luckily, over late nights I spent dwelling about this, I realized that my mother’s money was not a permanent fix, and it would have lasted very long. I grew to realize that this was the best situation our family could be in economically, yet not emotionally. I do not believe I ever genuinely thought it was her fault that our family was in this situation, I just wanted a real reason for what was happening, and to this day, I still do not have a definite

My partner has become more open about expressing herself and confronting me about things that bother her. For example, I was not aware for quite some time that she did not like it when I directed attention towards her when we went to social gatherings. I had always made an effort to involve her in conversations because I didn’t want her to feel left out. My partner, however, felt that I was being inconsiderate of her social anxiety, which I was not aware of early on in our relationship. Rather than telling me right, she kept it to herself and built it a lot of resentment towards me.
