How open are you?

[Bambi]

I guess that's the right word....feel free to edit the title if Im being thick

I'm better behaved around strangers, honest. But around my mates, I tend to give a running commentary of my bowel movements, when i last farted, picked my nose...pretty much all the stuff I should probably not really announce to the world

But I generally don't care, it's my friends they know me, and if some poor unfortunate happens to be there that I don't know, they get the full on me treatment too

I don't think before I open my mouth, and Il just say whatever spews out first and usually it's something rather unladylike...''watch out ladies I just farted and it might stink'' ....at least I'm honest ¬¬

I'm convinced I should have been a man

I think I'm pretty open with myself.

If you don't like it, you can go jump off a bridge for all I care. >_>

Mind you, I know how to be mannerly and all that shit, but it doesn't change too much from the way I normally do things.

 

[DarkSquall]

I know I'm pretty open but not with my relatives, 'cause they are retarded
I like havin fun you know.

 

[Catnip]

Nope. I keep everything locked up inside. Especially my emotions. They cannot live anywhere else. I have a fear of being judged, I guess that has a lot (or everything) to do with it.

 

[Big Casino]

Hmmmm im not that open to be honest. If someone asks il tell them but i dont usually bring personal things up by myself. Im not looking for sympathy or guidance whatever and usually i just feel as though i cant benefit from telling someone so il keep it to myself. However like i said, if someone asks me im more than happy to tell them regardless of whether or not its personal etc. Im not bothered about sharing problems etc but il generally only tell if im asked first.

Dude, you're a ticking bomb . Try to change that and don't be afraid from ppl to judge you, they're still gonna judge you even if you didn't say a word.

I've been this way my whole life. It isn't a problem, really. I rather not change. People talk, but as long as I don't hear them I'll be completely content.

For me, that's passed. I lost it in 6th grade. My case was a lot more different than yours by far. My losing it was necessary. But it won't ever happen again, because looking back I realize how ridiculous it was. And because of that, I've gained self-control.

I'm fine. Seriously, guys.

Umm.. no. Not even close. This is where the "You are you and I am me" thing comes in. I was never raised to not appreciate the things I have or get. People screw up with what I want all the time, I'm still thankful for the fact that I even got whatever it was or had someone to try to get it for me. Sure, not having exactly what I want is a bit disappointing but it's nothing to lose myself over.

It takes strength of Will for some people. For me, I tell myself things, take deep breaths, do whatever to calm me down. For me, it isn't hard.

well,maybe some people are just wired differently,or your extremely prone to developing a split personality,but,i guess thats life,sorry for bothering about it

 

[Saphira Bunansa]

Hmmmm.. I'm only really open with my boyfriend. 'Cause he's supper awesome. :]
But I'm pretty closed with everyone else. If they ask, I'll open up a little, but I'm always careful of what I say in those situations. Yeah probably stupid I know. xD

I know it's a discussion and all that, but you don't need to reply to every post >_>

As for me, I'm very very guarded. I hardly tell anyone anything. I have my four best friends who I can tell anything to, and even then I spill more to Rebecca. I don't even tell my Girlfriend everything, but I tell her more than I tell most people.

I'm not a huge fan of public displays of emotion, if anything, anger is what I show the most, and I'm more inclined to tell someone if they've pissed me off, as opposed to being upset/happy/whatever. I guess it's not healthy to bottle things up, since I eventually explode, normally with rage, but I don't feel the need to go around telling everyone everything >_> I have the people I trust implicitly, and then I have everyone else. And they'll know what I want them to know, nothing more.

I've learned over the years that people prefer me to shut up and not talk about my personal feelings. Even with relationships, it seems like I'm better off shutting up and just doing whatever they want me to do, even if my reasons are made with logic and foresight. Of course, I'm probably shut up too much to have relationships in the first place anymore, so... xD

Of course, anyone holding up emotions or ideas without any form of release is unhealthy (and sometimes I already think I'm bad off), so what I do is I write, I draw, I sing, I mix music, I do any little creative thing I can get my hands on. I hate having nothing to do, so I'm always trying to find something to occupy my time, because I tend to think way too much.

 

[Lebreau]

I'm not very open generally. It all depends on who I'm talking to, but with my family and most of my friends, I'm just happy or passive. I give a bubbly appearance or I give a closed appearance, with very little variation.

Although I don't open up to people, I write as an outlet, sing when things build up, and a lot of times I'll go outside and just run. I bottle things up, yes, but only until I'm alone. I let them out then, because I don't trust people easily. Those who I do trust, I tell things, but no one hears everything. I prefer to keep myself inside where I belong, thank you.

 

[LaughingOctopus]

To people,
I don't know,
I'm usually very,
quiet,
and kept,
to myself,
I'm open,
with myself,
and my friends,
but that's,
about it.
Quiet around,
my family too.
I hate,
judgemental people.
So I block,
strangers until,
I get a,
closer look,
at them.

On the internet? I usually just say the first thing that comes to mind.

In real life? It normally takes me a while to warm up to people enough to have a regular conversation not to mention telling people about my personal problems. If I've been around a group of people long enough, I'll at least be comfortable enough to joke around. If I have any personal issues, the only person I really feel comfortable talk to is my big sister, but even then I normally keep that kind of stuff bottled up.
