I've always been closed off. I never really talked about my feelings because I never had to express how I felt. My parents were not open about how they felt at all. If I did something bad I would get hit or yelled at. I never understood why it was bad, I just knew it was bad. When I tried to express how I felt it would be excessive. It has always been hard for me to express my feelings. From my family to my friends.
When my first dog ran away all I did was cry about it, and the first thing I was told was to shut up about it. I was allowed to cry about it because I loved that dog. I would sit and sulk around for days because he was truly my best friend. I told him everything. Even though he was a dog and couldn't talk he understood me. He loved me as much as I loved him. He and I would practice tricks all the time because I trained him to do everything he knew. When he ran away I was tarnished in every bit of my being.
My family never really expressed how they felt until they exploded on each other. As I have learned communication is key in any relationship, either a relationship or a friendship. People need to communicate their feelings so people understand them. I never fully grasped that until my most recent relationship. Holy moly guys, if you knew how bad my communication skills were during that relationship, you would be disappointed.
