Sigh!

One thing I've learnt about myself is that I like to take out things on my own....especially negative things. If I'm hurt, bitter, angry....all negative feelings... I bottle them up inside me, and take them out in my journal or when am alone.

People have told me that it's not the right way to let out your feelings, but it works for me. I find it easier to sit on my bed and cry after a gruelling fight with my mum, rather than abuse and disrespect her...or say something that I'll live to regret.

I'd rather cry alone in a my room and later approach my best friend on what she did that hurt me, rather than break our friendship on first impulse of knowledge of the issue. It gives me time to sort out my thoughts and know what action to take.

I'd rather be alone and quiet when finding out something shocking/disheartening. It's much better than saying something that will turn the whole situation around and I won't be able to fix it. It gives me time....again...to put my thoughts together and evaluate the situation, so that I know what action to take.

I've learnt alot in this life...and I'm still learning. But as I go along, I prefer to continue being me....on how i deal with my feelings...and how I deal with my situations. It may not work for you...but it sure works for me.
