Anticipate reactions? And

1 Reply

Does anyone ever have trouble expressing their emotions or just expressing themselves and telling people what you need to tell them whether it’s your doctor, parents, etc. Because you anticipate the outcome or anticipate their reactions?

Yes Christine I have issues understanding emotions & expressing my emotions I might feel sad but I won't show sad face. I might be happy & you might see different that I don't seem happy.

Many of times if I fall in love with a girl I can't express how I feel so I express love in the way of cuddles. But I have a body awareness problem which makes me not want sex as it's discomforting for myself.

Also I cannot cry or feel upset. I went to a funeral few months ago as a close friend passed away there was alot of people crying & upset but I just felt puzzled at my surroundings & couldn't understand.

Although part of me knows my friend has gone to heaven my mind still clicks on to phone his phone to see if he's coming out to play & always get same response from his parents who explain to me that he's gone to better place.

Not what you're looking for?
