When you encounter emotional issues do you ask for help?

When I was young I preferred to just keep my problems a secret from everyone and tried to solve them myself (though I usually failed). But now I feel some change in me: I actively ask for help when I feel like I need it. I often cling to the people I trust the most. I do that not only in real life, but here too.

How about you? Do you ask for help?

No. I don’t ever have emotional issues. I’m too easy going. If I’m frustrated or stressed it doesn’t last long. I’ve learned how to think shit through and calm myself. I was never too big on talking about “feelings”.

If it gets too out of control I will, but I prefer to keep that stuff to myself, if I can.

I will confide in my friends and my significant other, but I will not “lean” on them and I won’t ask for help. From having been the person who was leaned upon – way too hard – I know that that can ruin a friendship. It can cause resentment, it’s unpleasant, and it just really isn’t fair.

It might sound needlessly cold but I go to the people who are paid to listen to me when I need help and I get counseling.

Nope. I keep it all to myself. But if something happens on the spot and I’m with someone else, I’ve realized that I’ll start ranting about it with them afterwards.

Rarely from earthly people, but I ask all of the time.

When I get personaly attacked for my beliefs ( like time travel) I ask my mom for advice.

@talljasperman Your mom in this timeline or one of your alternate mothers?

When I m emotionally dissatisfied with myself or encounter an emotional outburst, I mostly just keep it all to myself and don’t share anything at all. I go into a quite zone where I m not willing to understand and see whatever that’s going on with me. I usually just stay in a box for days( I mean not really!). It’s like a shell that covers me and I feel safe there. And particularly don’t address things because I don’t feel like. And then finally after a few realisations I get back up, working fine.

@Dan_Lyons The closest mom that I can ask.

I keep it to myself. I’ve only had negative reactions when I try to share with friends and I’ve tried therapy several times but those have been negative too. I don’t really trust people in that sense.

I tell my twin and thank God that I have her. Could not imagine finding a friend that I could trust as I trust her. I can tell her almost anything and get incredible feedback because she knows me so well. Her only drawback is loose lips when she drinks so I can’t tell her everything. For those super private things I must work out on my own.
