Is it up to us?

Should we carry the weight of the world?

Most will disagree and say sharing things is the best way to deal.

HOWEVER, everything we say and do has such a big impact on the people around us.

So is it better that we keep things to ourselves even if we are taking the world apon our shoulders?

Or do we burden those we care about so we don't fall?

OPEN TOPIC!! ~Tell me your thoughts~

Would you want your best friend to hold everything in, "taking the world upon their shoulders" and not tell you anything because they don't wish to "burden" or "worry" you even though you care ?

Yeh. Exactly. Good point.

But thats what I'm asking,

Do give others problems, they do care, but have they're own.

Or

Do we save them and attempt to handle it.

But I totally agree.
Love is a questionable theory!

I'm the kind of person that takes everyone's problems and makes them my own (to some degree). I mean i can get really upset just because my friend is sad..or if something bad happens to anyone..like even a stranger. I guess I just feel too much. But ragardless I would still rather have my friends tell me their problems so I can try to help than have them keep it all locked up.

Ironicly i've been asking myself this same question. i have a great friend who was always there for me and who was always willing to listen and help. whenever things got bad she would get me through it. but as you said should i burden her with it? i decided no. she has dealt with enough crap in her life and she doesn't need mine added on to it. unfortunately though, she is the only person i ever trusted enough to open up to... i'll find out if it was the right choice soon enough though.

just because i made this choice doesn't mean everyone else should. sometimes having someone to talk to is the best way to deal move on. i guess i really don't know if there is a definite answer to your question.

Hmmm interesting topic...
I don't know what to say to that...
I don't want to burden a friend with my problems but I hate for them to keep it all in.
For me I guess I don't like to see people hold it in, but I don't like to let it out myself...
It's a question I've asked myself before as well....

I think we should definately put our views forward but not if there going to hurt peoples feelings
