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.

Awwwweeeee..... You should maybe start out slow, with maybe saying, if you like it when he hugs you or something, you can tell him, "I love your hugs." just get it out there and the rest will be easy!! Smile

So I really like this guy who's a junior and he likes me too (i'm a freshman). We've been friends for a month or two when we both attended a party for our swim team. He kissed me at the party and we made out. (thats not weird at my school, i go to one of those small prep schools that no one goes out and people make out and just become exclusive). so this was two weeks ago. last week he wanted to hangout and i couldn't because I had my friends birthday dinner. then friday i was too tired to go and hangout. and yesterday my mom wouldn't let me go. 1. i think it will be awkward 1 on 1. 2. he's friends with some of my friends that our freshman but i doubt he wants to hang out with a load of frosh. 3. my moms uncomfortable with me hanging out with him, how can i convince her i'll be okay? he's one of those guys that you bring him up and everyone says oh my god he's so nice! help? thanks so much in advance!! other people post on my profile if u hav ny advice! sorry this is long!




Hey girl,

Since your mom isn't feeling super comfy with this, it probably would be smart to try to plan a group hangout. That way, your mom knows there are people there she's met before/is familiar with - but you can still hang out with him, chat, and grow closer to him. And that way, one-on-one won't seem too scary anymore Smile After some time passes, you can sit down with mom and tell her you've been getting to know him for a while and he's so great - you can list his great qualities (he's respectful, great at school, committed to his sports team, volunteers, is funny, whatever) and ask if she might want to meet him to see for herself. I know that might seem awkward, but she'll feel SO much better about it if she knows you've known him for a while and she can meet him on her own <3
