Prompt 2: Are you good at hiding your feelings or is your face an open book?

I have to be honest here. I try to hide my feelings rather than let them show. It does not help that I have a someone close to me who seems to get satisfaction out of hurting me. In my opinion, he is verbally abusive. If he sees that his words affect me, he smirks. This person makes me feel like I am weak if I let emotion show.

There are those who know me and can always tell when something is wrong. I can try to hide my feelings from them, but, they are able to pick up on it. That tells me my face is an open book. I do not even notice it.

I am the type of person who holds emotions in. I do not like others seeing me cry or anything else. My train of thought is that this makes me seem weak to others.

Holding emotions in is not healthy. It is hard to let them show at the same time. It is no wonder I stay to myself all the time. I do not get hurt that way.

I will have to find a place where I can let go of the pent up feelings. A place where I do not feel vulnerable or as if I am being scrutinized. It is affecting my health in the most negative way.

Until next time...

Happy Writing!
