I am useless in hiding pain.

And worse, I get easily irritated and let it spill over on people, specially if they try to lend a hand for support. I will become a grumpy old man when I get there, I am sure.

I learned to handle it better, but everytime I feel sad or disapointed this feeling of "let me be alone or I'll bite" shows up. Not very nice feeling at all - it has it's roots in not trusting people.

The only one that ever managed to break through that barrier is the one I spend my love on today.

Good thread, interesting comments (I am taking notes, believe me).

U don't need to trust people as long as u found the ONE who broke the barrier. Simply enjoy the moments of life and when u feel like biting, bite...anyway, ppl know u're good inside:)

I stomp on the person next to me. While they are hopping around no one notices me holding my finger.

Sometimes I hide it behind laughter...sometimes I just hide while I cry it out.

ive been hiding my pain since i was 6. ..when i lost my sister is when it started....ive learned to make my smiles reach my eyes. so people think im really happy when im not. i either try to help others as much as i can ..it gives me less time to think. it hurts alot so i do things that will distract me as much as possible. i'll read for hours on end or draw. lately ive stared typing what hurts me on the computer and saving it on a flash drive. it helps but it also means thinking about it which i dont like to do.


i have a qoute that says " im the type of girl that can be so hurt but can still look at you and smile. the type of girl who is willing to brighten your day even if i can't brighten my own."

I've found that when i bury it deep,a scream usually follows.

innocent












It's a healthy form of release.devil

I didn't read through the thread. Are we talking physical or mental.

Mentally, I use humor.

Physically, I don't know how I do it, I have a lot of pain, but there are only 4 people in this world who can tell when I'm in pain. Well, 3, since mom died.

When I'm sad, I make jokes. Laughing makes me feel better, so I try to do it alot.
But when I'm completely devastated, I tend to shut down. Meaning I still do what I have to do, but I rarely speak or show any emotion. But this is rare thankfully.

I can't hide my pain when I do have pain.

I discuss it with somebody to make myself feel better....

Hiding your pain is a huge no-no....

I should add that I confront my pain, get a grasp on it, and move on in my own way.

What I actually do most times is hide MYSELF away & cry til I can't cry anymore. If that involves screaming, so be it.
