Do you hide things?

[Emma]

Do you hide how you really feel about things?
I pretend to get over things or that things don't matter but secretly I don't feel anything but hurt inside, I pretend it doesn't matter that people call me ugly, but all I see when I look in the mirror is a stupid ugly person, I pretend that I'm not hurt anymore about some stupid person saying I'm retarded, but now I see everyone looking at me like that......just because I don't say much doesn't mean I'm retarded or that I'm not worth anything.
My friend nearly died, and I told her that I was glad she was Ok....but I can't tell her that I don't know what I would do without her if she did die, the thought of it makes me want to throw up when I think that right now she probably wouldn't be here, but I won't tell her that because we aren't like that.

I'm really tired of being me, I don't think I'll ever be good enough for anyone or anything 8O :roll:

oh emma

i wish you didnt feel that way about yourself.

you need lots of big hugs that would help, wouldnt it.

heres one (((HUGS)))



Yep, i often pretend im feeling a way opposed to the truth (Lol thats one way of putting it) hehe anyway .. yeh i do that, but i dont know if thats wrong necessarily, maybe part of changing your thinking patterns is lying to others, and yourself, so much that you end up believing your own lies (eg, i feel GREAT) dont know if thats such a bad thing.

when you pretend your not hurt, pretend it to yourself aswell, not just to others. it will end up working, it has for me. your brainwashing yourself into bieng more positve, and more aloof.

good luck emma. im always here to talk if you need to.

What is it that we hide?

We hide our own thoughts, which are momentary.

Hide them from what?

We hide them from the thoughts of others, which are momentary and are completely out of our control.

We hide thoughts about ourself and hold onto them and believe them to be utterly true, yet others see us so differently, don’t they, so who’s view of ourself is the correct one?

So why do we continue to hide what’s inside?

Because we are afraid for others to know ‘us’ – (the way we view our self, which is usually quite negative).

Yet others see a completely different person regardless of how we act or what we say because they can only perceive us through the power of their own mind.

Let go of the momentary thoughts that you hold about yourself and become free of this negative image you believe you are.

Emma, come on! I dont think you are that ugly, noone is. Be fair to yourself...

dear emma. i wish i could help you somehow. pm me sometime, okay?

well i used to hide my feelings a lot (maybe because i wanted to protect myself) but recently i made a huge progress and learned a lot so that i was able to change many things... but i still hide a little bit. being honest is hard.
but the most important thing is to be honest to yourself.

*hugs for emma*

hey Emma..sorry you're feeling so bummed out..and yeah, i totally hide how i feel all the time..there's no one who i talk to (besides you guys :wink: ) that would have a clue how i really feel inside..and i always reply with "fine" or "good" if i'm asked how i am, no matter how shitty things feel at the time :evil: ....and Emma..i think people tend to focus on their own flaws, rather than their attributes..so don't be too hard on yourself about your looks..or who you are...i think you sound like an honest, caring person..and some day, someone will see that and think you're the coolest, most beautiful person to them...and don't give a shit what everybody else thinks :wink:

That kind of attitude won't get you anywhere.
Why aren't you ane your friend "like that" ?
I'm sure you're not ugly, you just lack self-esteem.
You may not know it, but you're waiting for someone to complement you and convince you that you're not ugly. But how long are you going to wait for them to do that? Don't depend on others to make you feel better, you need to tell yourself that you're not ugly/ retarded. thhose jerks aren't worth being upset over. They dunno any better

I couldn't agree with you more Jack B. You hit it dead on. Thanks for the insight.
