Who do you turn to in times of despair? We all need people to confide in and share our burdens with. I know when I am in denial and not wanting to discuss what is bothering me, I tend to withdraw from my support system and introvert.
However, when I am willing to look within myself and be honest about what is causing me angst, I have reliable, caring people I go to. Being able to bounce things off other people while being honest about what you’re feeling is essential if you want to grow and evolve emotionally. Feelings are not meant to be pushed down, numbed or ignored. Many people are out of touch with their feelings, needs and wants. One way to reclaim those parts of yourself is to ask for help when you need it and share with someone else doesn’t feel right.
Awareness is the key to change! Becoming aware of what you are feeling, and then being willing to make changes by learning new ways to behave lead to a healthier more highly functioning you. It’s okay to be vulnerable and ask other people for emotional support from time-to-time. I hope you have good-hearted, genuine people in your life you can confide in and trust to give you advice and support when you need it!
