Lecture 2: Whats on Your Mind?

Everyone has that one friend that seems obviously stressed out sometimes, or is conspicuous when something is on their mind. I know I do. Everyone can be like that, especially me. At those given moments i don't say much, i dont smile much, i dont care much....but i feel much. In fact, I'm probably flowing with a river of several different emotions all at once. What do others do in this situation? I ask them to save their words for bettertimes because I'm usually voluntarily not listening. But, then there are some who just cant say no and try to just invade all of your thoughts. When you tell someone your feelings, there is trust in that situation. It's almost like holding your heart in your hand and letting them hold it for just that moment. I dont know about you, but I would find it hard to do that. When a person tries to know whats on my mind, I automatically put up my guard and block all access that could be available for that person. I do that because when a person is trying to know what I'm feeling I feel like they're taking something from me. Even if my feelings can bring me down, I still protect them because they are mine. I'm careful about who I tell my feelings to...so no I wont tell you unless you are very close to me. I may ask you what's on your mind, but you may be different from me. You may be able to allow others to know your feelings and it doesnt take much from you, but my thoughts brought me this far. I say its my problem not yours...they say 'but I'm trying to help you!!" Tell me, how are they helping me when I'll feel worse if i tell them whats really on my mind? On these days when you just cant seem to talk, laugh, crack a smile, tell a joke, look in a certain someone's directio...ask yourself whats on your mind. Maybe I can take my own advice and do the same. It could possibly help me. If i tell myself the problem, do you think I will be able to tell another with more comfort in the situation? I dont know, I've never tried. When I do, I'll let you know. So, whats on your mind? (come on u saw that coming)
