Managing knowledge and feelings that can't be shared (lemmy.world)

If you are unable to share certain thoughts or feelings with any other human in any meaningful way, how can a person manage this in a healthy way?

Both psychologically sound and proven methods as well as personal anecdotes are welcome.

Please assume sharing is non-negotiable which precludes close friends, family, and/or professionals.

Maybe creating art in some form can be a way of processing?

I really appreciate this idea. I’ve always thought I was no good at traditional “art” but perhaps I need to broaden my idea of what will constitute art and what can be made and kept in plain sight.

Making art is not about making "good art" (whatever that means anyway). As long as you enjoy making it or it helps in some other way, it is great. Go and make some shitty art! Or good art. Or weird art. Or whatever kind of art it will be, but don't be stopped by the idea it has to meet some quality standard.
