I hate being softhearted. I am always nice to everyone and at the end they always end up hurting me. If you keep remembering situations, hurts that happened some time ago, you are guaranteed to have repressed emotions around this person or situation. More people walk around saying it’s not important or it doesn’t matter when it is very important and a big piece of hurting emotion is buried within them.  They will describe this hurt and being small and unimportant.  Men tend to do this rather frequently.  Write down a detailed description of all the “little and unimportant hurts” that somehow don’t go away.  Every little hurt that you keep remembering, that won’t go away, regardless of when it happened, must go on this list.  Many people have many of these little hurts. These emotions are buried within creating difficulties with their health. 
Crying is a normal releasing function for each human being.  We are born with this ability because through crying we release pain, hurt, and associated stress. Crying or writing and crying about what has happened to you can help you sort out your experience and understand it.  And understanding is crucial for many people. In time this process will relieve some of the sensitive pain around your experience and eventually make it endurable.  With time, the pain around the situation will lesson, as long as you allow yourself to feel it.
We need friends who love us and care about us, especially when we are hurting. And usually this is not the time when you could say we are at our best.  Be very careful and choose someone who will guarantee you confidentiality.  Tell your friends about what hurts you.  Feel their comfort and love.  Make sure they understand you may not want advice on how to resolve your issues. What we all need is a loving ear to listen to us with their heart.  We need loving friends in our lives.  Many people cannot tell their friends about their experiences but I take the risk and share these happenings and my feelings with my close friend whom I can trust.
