Today, I told my boyfriend I was scared to open up to him because I had lost people in the past by doing so. After an hour of him trying to convince me to share my thoughts with him, I finally agreed to tell him some things that were worrying me. He broke up with me a minute later. FML

Lady_Gunslinger9 tells us more.

Hey guys I'm the OP, just thought I'd make an account and give you all some extra information. I have an anxiety disorder and depression, he knew about both of these and he could tell I wasn't feeling okay so he asked me what was wrong, I tried to convince him it was nothing because I don't feel comfortable opening up to people because of things that have happened in my past. When he eventually convinced me I wasn't going to lose him if I opened up, I took a risk. I told him some things that were worrying me and no it's nothing crazy or weird (although the murder comments did cheer me up a little). The conversation led to talking about our relationship and that's when he ended it. I'm better off without him because anyone who cant deal with me telling them small things that everyone goes through certainly couldn't handle something big if it ever happened. I am sad it ended but I know its probably for the best

Either all these dudes are prized fucktards or you might just be the common denominator here.

OP, I'd like to share with you a useful little saying. If you run into an asshole in the morning, you ran into an asshole; if you run into assholes all day, you're the asshole. You should obviously keep being yourself; just don't expect to keep a man.

OP just cause you ran into a few bad guys that doesn't mean you should just give up on them. and to be fair that was kind of the other persons fault for being a dick

Did you murder someone or something? I think you might have dodged a bullet though OP, if he can't except your closet skeletons, then he is not worth the time. Someone better will come along OP, just be patient

Aw crap, you're right! Sorry, I guess my spelling didn't make it all the way through my thought process

Show it anyway

That kind of mentality is encouraging depression. If all your thoughts and feelings are forced to the side, then you can lose your identity as a person. People need both the food and the bad of their psyche

Journey to his address and vandalize his vehicle, spray verbal abuse in graffiti all over the walls, douse his plants in chemicals and ascare his pet if he owns one like a dog that lives outside in a kennel.

You have problems and need many many years of therapy.

The law of the jungle is kill or be killed. You must be strong to survive. The urban jungle is now the new killing ground

You can't blame the OP or her boyfriend. She needed someone to talk to, but obviously he was overwhelmed and/or a bit freaked by what he heard. This is a fear of mine myself and for a long time I always thought I'd have to keep things to myself until it festered into a full blown mental illness, but it got better eventually and opened up a bit more. Maybe visit the school/college/work counsellor if you aren't already and write things that hurt you down in a journal
