How open are you about your feelings?

I think the person you have to be really open with about your feelings is yourself. Sharing them with others can help create intimacy and be cathartic but really isn't necessary.-
I think it's necessary in relationships with friend and lovers/partners. -
Sharing feelings can hurt as well as enrich a friendship. It depends on the individuals involved.

Well in my experience both with partners and friends, being able to be open about how I felt has been something that has made those entities better. Because my last boyfriend, although a very wonderful relationship, was unable to be emotionally open or share with me without me pressing him, I left him and I think it's a shame things didn't work out.

I am completely open with my feelings (just read my blog). -
I'm very open about my feelings, I'm learning this is really all relative though. I've met men recently who have told me I seem closed. I find that interesting. I suppose it depends on the people.

Im open with myself and those close to me but am guarded with people I dont know, probably a by product of my youth I think. -
I'm a man. You think I have feelings? I'm like a stone wall, like a statue, rock solid baby! I know you all are going to say that's so outdated machismo, but oh well. *Statue Pose* -
Not terribly. I try to deal with them myself and not burden anybody around me. -
I think sharing feelings is part of communicating, and communicating is very healthy. The most important thing, in my opinion, is admitting ur feelings to urself. After that, it depends on what your agenda is in a certain relationship. But the more you communicate, the better your chances are of enjoying each other. I share my feelings oh so much. -
Depends who with. Sometimes if I am nervous in someone's company, I tend to just keep talking and end up being too open! I still find it a balancing act between being honest and over-sharing... -
Very open with my husband about everything I feel. With everyone else, I'm not open at all when it comes to getting personal. However, I'm very opinionated - if you ask me my opinion on something or I disagree, etc. I definitely let you know how I feel. -
Most men myself included bottle up their feelings!

We have no feelings. We are men, englightened and stern. Strong and unwavering. We don't stop and ask for directionss, we were born with the directions.
