Emotionally closed off? How to confide in your BF


 
I have a hard time with showing my emotions to people. It 's only hard for me because I think it's embarrassing. But my boyfriend wants me to share my feelings with him and I can't do that. What should I do?


Embarrassment is a sensation we get when we feel like we are doing something that is against the social norm. Your environment has conditioned you to think that showing emotion to others is not normal.


That being said, showing emotion to your loved ones is perfectly normal and acceptable. Your boyfriend is someone who cares about you a lot and wants to know what you are feeling. It is OK to share your emotions with him. He is not going to judge you or make fun of you. Chances are he just wants to share with him so that he can feel closer to you.


For someone who is not very outwardly emotional learning to share your feelings with your boyfriend can be quite the task to attack it in baby steps. First let him know that you are not very comfortable showing emotion, but that with a bit of help you hope to become better at it. Second, begin to share your feelings on small things such as test grades or community events. This is going to help you form a trusting bond with him, which will make talking about anything easier. Once you feel you are ready you can begin to share your emotions with him about bigger issues like family and your fears.


Remember, don’t rush! Take small steps towards progress and your boyfriend should recognize the tough personal work you are doing for the good of your relationship.

Mod!mod! Mod! Mod! Plz answer
So people say its hard 4 them to read my emotions.
If I'm sad, happy, angry, annoyed, they say my face stays the EXACTED same!! they say like looking at a brick wall... Y is this? I tried making different facial expressions, but people say I have dead eyes

 

Hey Krisskatt, mhmm I don't know why this is. Maybe you carry a lot of tension in your face. Try doing facial exercises everyday. Squeeze your face really tight, then stretch it really wide. Moving your face may help relax it and express emotions more visibly. Hope this helps! Xoxo Smile

I have this huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge peoblem i really like a guy. But the problem is ive NEVER TALKED TO HIM. ive tried so hard to get over him. I have once but now i like him. And to make it even wrose i have countless dreams about him. And in each dream we were either going out or he asked me out HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Hey girl! It's time to either make the move and start a convo with him or start flirtin' with another cutie and focus your attention on him.  Hopefully the dreams wil disappear after awhile.  xoxo

So there is this guy that i know, he is a junior and i am a freshman. but over the last month, i have noticed him sort of flirting with me. i know that flirting isn't a bad thing, but i have gotten used to guys not noticing me. so whenever he flirted with me i think i acted like i wasn't interested, even though i am. now school is out and i probably won't see him to next year. any suggestions on what i can do if i see him over the summer?




Hey girl!

If you do get to see him this summer, show your interest! Flirt back with him. If you have a crush on him, you gotta show it. If you don't show him you're interested, you'll never know where it could have lead. Good luck!
