Cant even talk with those I trust

[jhanniffy]

I can’t physically talk to anyone about my problems. I got by in school with my best friend as I used to Wright her notes and text her and I wouldn't have to talk face to face or over the phone. Though I trust her 100% I still can’t. She came over yesterday and I planned to get some advice from her but I couldn't do it. I felt physically sick and told myself that it’s not worth bringing up if it makes me feel this way. I fear awkward silences where I'm expected to talk about myself- I can never describe how I feel and am always afraid of sounding stupid as my mind ALWAYS goes completely blank. Does anyone get this? It’s really annoying and slowly killing me!

if shes a good friend just talk to her about how you feel , we all need a good freind to talk to , if shes a good freind she will listen and try to help ... dont put up barriers with her , it wont help her or you trying to sort out your problems , and you wont sound stupid your just telling her how you feel

I know what you mean. There are only 2 people in this world I can truly trust and it's still nauseating to even tell them somethings wrong. It's hard putting yourself on the line. I can't admit to people when I'm feeling down or just need someone to talk to. It's like an ongoing failure. I can't be happy, so I have failed at happiness and I can't ask for a simple helping hand because asking for help to me is some sort of ultimate failure in itself. I guess you just have to keep telling yourself that these special people that you open up to are these specific people for a reason. They're the only people we're able to seek help and if they've helped before, even just by simply listening, and you haven't scared them off, I'd say you're in a good spot. Just hang in there, everyday is a new opportunity for anything.

I can't talk to anyone either. My mind goes blank, and I freeze. I say to myself in my head talk, talk, please speak, but I can't.
What I did do is write down what I want to say, and use that. Make the person read it then start from there. I did that with my mom. After they read what you wrote they can probably carry the conversation.
