With a little help from my friendsssssss

[Lenna]

When you're feeling down or upset, how do you react to things. Do you prefer to be alone and shelter yourself from everyone else, or do you talk to your friends to try and get problems off your chest.

In my opinion (after the past few days of having a friend constantly being hostile to most of my other friends), being alone just makes you more dependant on yourself. Which in some cases can be good, in some cases can be bad.

Growing up alone you depend on yourself and think that the whole world is against you and you try and deal with it. But when you actually get people who care about you, have you blocked them out? and thought "well I've always depended on myself they can do what they want"

Or do you appreciate the fact that these people are trying to help and comfort you in many ways?

Talking usually helps most people but sometimes it can be hard. I just don't think that someone should go their whole life depending on themselves when they have people around them who care about them.

I've learned to depend on myself when I feel sad.
I don't really have any friend that are that close to me, I like being able to depend on myself (that way, I won't be disappointed whenever a friend lets me down.)

[Lenna]

see it's that sort of thing that makes me sad. Sometimes depending on yourself can make you cold hearted and blind to see who around you cares. I try my best to let my friends see I'm there for them but a couple have just put it past me and not bothered to realise that I try my best :/

[Chris]

But I don't have anyone close enough to depend on. Sure, my family, but I don't feel comfortable doing that with them. Luckily I have you guys.

[Lenna]

Yes you do!!! ;D and your big sis = me ;D <333 *damn proud too* teehee

[Faris]

I depend on myself, and my friends equally. There are just somethimgs that I don't have the courage to say, or I feel that it is unnecessary to say and I can deal with it myself. Then again, there are just somethings that you need to talk to some one about and hope to get advice.

[Chris]

Yes you do!!! ;D and your big sis = me ;D <333 *damn proud too* teehee

Thank you.

[Lenna]

Ash you know you always got me and the rest of us. So no matter what you'll always have people who care about you. We love ya <3

and Chris don't go feeling down on me or I'll gouge your eyes out too <3

I try not to depend on my friends. It's almost always better to deal with my problems myself, and not get anyone else involved.

The worst thing I ever let my friends get involved in was schoolwork. I never tell them about anything worse. My problems are mine to deal with.

I definitely tend to go into my shell, so to speak. I've never liked unloading my problems onto other people, I never found it fair to burden others with my problems. I don't mind writing about them for people to see, but never directly one on one. I dunno why, I don't like it. It's weird though, because I like listening to people and trying to help them. Just, I like to depend on myself only. I guess it's because you can only really be sure of trusting yourself, but eh. Whoever. I haven't felt like [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img]e in years, so it's no fuss. :}

Apparently the only good use for friends is to get high with them.

[Psychotic]

If I have a problem then other people are the last thing I need. I'm happy to give help to other people with their problems if they want it, but as for my own problems, then they really are my own problems.

[Lenna]

Right so, to come to a conclusion, Everyone will listen to everyone else... but they wont talk about themselves to everyone else... ;_; that's confusing ;o

[Doomie]

Keep things to myself. I don't want to bother anyone with the things that bother me. I became a cold-hearted person because of it, and it made me keep a distance from everyone. I believe that in the end, you're by yourself.

I can only talk about my problems to certain people, I feel akward and a bit whiney if I do it with other people. I'm a pretty dependant person, I depend on very close friends to listen. I can't really solve my own problems very well on my own, I can only ignore them.

I listen when others have problems, and I try to help, or at least cheer them up.
