Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
i feel like the closest people to me are hiding things and lying.... not really lying, but omitting; however, to me omitting information is a lie. all these things i notice there is always an excuse for.... i start to think i am paranoid... but now i am beginning to realize i am just being smart about what i see. when i try to approach this person about it though i get nothing but anger in return. is honesty too much to ask for? especially when it involves a person who means more to me than anything?

Honesty is a big part of a relationship . Your not asking for too much.

I think it depends on what you are looking for them to tell you. I think everyone keeps a certain amount of thing to themselves out of self protection or they don't want to hurt someone. Honesty is a tricky thing, what do you feel they're keeping from you? Are you talking about family? Or just really good friends?

Honesty and trust in a relationship are two different things altogether. That's how I feel anyways.

i just wish i could sit and talk about it without them getting angry

wow you took the thoughts right out of my head tonight. whenever i express these things, i am told i am being paranoid but i just want openness and honesty - maybe i expect too much.

Would you care to say who they are or maybe to share the problem. That way we may understand where your coming from . If not that's okay .

You know some people can't handle honesty because they're in denial about what's going on around them. My parents are like that, they can't handle MY honesty so I just don't talk to them about it or anything that's going to upset they're happy little apple carts. Some people are like that, nothing you can do about it but be honest with the only person you can trust--YOURSELF!

i would rather not mention exactly what... anytime i mention my actual problem i feel i am told it is petty, and that is not what i want to hear.
