Get over it

I used to be someone who'd rather not speak about my problems to someone close to me.
However, ever since I was with the one I loved (and still do) most I've become more open towards people. I let them know how I feel, sometimes they are not even close. I know I was different from the way I used to be; I used to keep everything to myself.

but I guess you have to wisely choose your psychiatrist. Not everyone is willing to listen to your petty problems and emotional whines. Some thought just by saying something positive is enough to cheer a person up. Sorry to say that I am the type who would rather discuss about it to make myself feel better. At least I can hear what others think of the situation. Never tell me to simply "cheer up" or "forget it", because it will annoy me more because I could not receive others' opinion.

It does not work. I cannot simply force myself to pretend that everything is alright. I do not want to lie to myself. But then again, in front of people, I still had to wear a mask to hide my true self.

I admit it may be annoying to listen to the same grumblings all over again. But you have to put yourself in others shoes. You may want them to be as strong as yourself, or some other people you know, but guess what? NOBODY is the SAME. So do not compare with one another. Put yourself in the victim of despair's situation, try being a little more empathic.
