When I have emotional problems with friends or family, I find it helps to tell someone, but it also helps to write all that I am thinking down. My observation is about eh kinds of people who prefer to write their problems compared to those who like to talk them out. At first I thought that the social kids would talk and the quite kids would write. In many cases this is true, but I have also seen a good number of cases to disprove my initial thoughts. I have found that I can not accurately tell who will write their problems and who feel they need to discuses them. The only factor I have found that has any relevance is the strength in friendships that a person has. If a person has strong and close friends then I have found that they tend to feel more conformable talking about what is on their minds. On the other hand if a person has a fair number of backstabbing friends I have found that they prefer to write their problems. And of course there is a middle ground for people like me, I have had good friends and I have been hurt by good friends so I find I like to talk about smaller problems but put the bigger ones in pen and ink. Its just kind of weird how you can almost tell the quality of friends a person has just by the way they handle problems. |

Some people are more comfortable expressing themselves than others (i.e. extroverted versus introverted) but I don't think being one or the other proves what sort of friend a person will be. | |
