>>25175224See there's a distinction, I understand your point so let me lay it out for you.
You don't have to talk about it to everyone around you but rather to the people who care for you the most or to people who are very wise and mature who will lend you an ear and a shoulder. Being listened to, being understood and appreciated will give you fortitude in the sense that you're not alone.
This works in tandem with the other aspect of overcoming your traumas and what not, in that you need to fill your time with experiences that are joyful and bring you happiness, finding a balance between the following:
1) opening up to people who are merited.
2) lifting your spirits by engaging in meaningful social activities.
3) growing as a person in your own time, by yourself through instrospection.
You don't have to be a mopey boy defined by his past who spills his guts at any given time, you have to be mature and understand that there's a time for everything, even crying.
Does that make sense? So after all's been said, I want you to take away the fact that you're not alone in your struggles, and if you decide not to speak then I hope you're at least growing and maturing as well as finding comfort in social activities.
