No one knows..

I have a group of friends who seem to not understand me.
They seem to think I should be happy 24/7. I can't be. I also don't want to burden them with my problems. I don't know what to do about it.
I need your guys' help.

Sincerely, Alixia

i no exactly how u feel! its like i put an act on round my friends, coz i think if they know whats happenin they won't think im fun or want 2 av me around. the thing is that u cnt always bottle everything up inside and it seems like u need 2 talk. maybe just get ur closest friend n tell her u need a chat. then tell her ur feeling bad n tell her how u feel bout havin 2 b happy, im sure she will tell u she doesnt want u 2 put on a cover n im sure she will support u! hope that helps!

p.s if u eva wanna talk e-mail me

I understand what you're going through. I go through the same thing with my friends. I don't want to burden them with my problems. If i'm upset i usually keep it inside and try to be happy when i'm around my friends. I think it would be best to tell your friends though. If you do, then they might actually make you feel better.

I'm going through the same thing and I have gone through it before. I pretend to be this little happy girl when I'm with my friends and when I get home, I'm a totally different person. I'm not going to tell you what to do but I'm going to tell you what I did and you can make your own choice. I went onto some chatsite and found someone with some depressing name and started talking to them. 99% of the time, they know what your going through and it helps you express all those deep feelings inside. My friends lead me to do this and it may be because I don't have the greatest of friends but they'll always be there for me no matter what. The reason why I didn't tell my friends is because I thought they would think I'm "emo" because they do judge people but who knows? I'll never find out... Your friends are most likely WAAAAY different than mine so do you what you think is right. I don't know if I helped... but I'm bored out of my mind and I tried my best...
Much Love,

Well dear being a friend myself all I want is for my friends to be happy...ultimately that is.
So you must see that they are only wanting what is best for you and to share that with you. You sound like you have some good friends so dont let them go especially when you need them now the most, although you find it hard to admit.
Friends aren't just there for the good times though, there in the long haul for the sad and bad times too...perhaps you should share your issues, a burden shared is a burdened lightened after all and as your friends thats what they are there for, Im sure if you opened up they would be there for you and help you more than you know - give them a chance and in turn one for yourself to feel happy again ok?
