God it is so hard to communicate in a relationship when you don't know what you are feeling. I know am justified in feeling this way.
I just want to climb out of my own skin. |

 Elanasure can relate to your post  I often wish I had a manual to read that said-- "when this happens one should feel like- _____"....... so then I KNOW for sure what I'm feeling is spot on.....  wishing you peace fins

(((Elana))) I can relate. It is hard but we need to keep trying. It's especially hard when we don't have positive images/tapes for what it's like to have a 'normal' emotionally healthy/EXPRESSIVE relationship.

Thanks so much geez & purple_fins,
Definitely feeling this way again this evening so it was nice to get your responses. So true about the "positive images/tapes." Truly lacking for me when I was a kid. |

it can be frustrating not know what we feel or how we want to feel. but if we dont know it gives us a chance to review the situation with a clearer mind. this allows us to decide how we want to react and feel about the situation. perhaps it will be a calmer less emotional response. this will allow us to respond in a more positive way and even be able to communicate to another what has occured and how it affects you.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
