When you grow up in a home that is not supportive of your life things begin to happen. You tend to hide your inner thoughts and feelings for risk of being judged.

Being an only child has taught me many things such as independence and self-reliance but if you’re not raised with support by your parents you might feel distant. Trends like these can lead to denying you have any problems and making yourself think you're good when you're truly not.

Denying your life and problems is a way of coping with your life as you don’t have anyone to go to for advice. Many would talk to a friend or parent but if you don’t have that support then you’re stuck without anyone to vent to. Without the support, you feel left out in the darkness, and sometimes you want to disappear.

Feelings and inner thoughts are important to tell others because if you keep everything inside forever you might not feel like you belong in the world. To me thinking that everything is okay and not truly telling the truth to someone might hurt you inside. Perhaps other might not care but when you go thought life feeling like you can’t open to others can lead to problems later in life.

Dialogue is important when you feel this way because even a small simple conversation can save a life. Even if you're not the type of person to talk much, it helps just a bit to talk to anyone you know. However, it is hard because you might be afraid to trust others that you do not really know. But when it comes to life and death you must. It can help and maybe just save your life.
