I have always been someone who is very in touch with their emotions and have believed that if something is troubling you, say it! However, a lot of the time we say things that would've been better left unsaid...
Ever since I was small, I have had a problem with sharing too many of my feelings and emotions, too quickly. Specifically when it is someone who is hurting or offending me or the people closest to me. I have always found it hard to rather keep quiet, and a lot of the time it has made things worse as sometimes things do not get said in the correct way and misunderstandings occur.
With time, I came to realise that the things I say can sometimes cause the situation to worsen. Today I know that it is better to practice a little self control than to say a lot. I can always share my feelings, but there is way to say things that sometimes help the people upsetting you, to really understand what they are doing.
Sometimes it seems better to just say it and get it off your chest.. and then later on you realise it just wasn't worth saying.. (when I say 'you' and don't mean YOU..mean generally:) )
