I have great parents and friends but I'm scared of what they would think if I broke down crying in front of them. I know that I have a lot of emotions bottled up but I don't know how to release them. My friends and parents have always seen me as a happy go-lucky guy that has his emotions very well in check and the thought of exposing my real feelings to them is terrifying. I often feel like I'm on the verge of tears but I never end up crying because I avoid confronting my emotions. I need someone to talk to but I feel like I couldn't trust a therapist to give me the right advice.
