How I did it: I started dating my boyfriend who always made it really clear he wanted to hear what I really thought about things.  He more or less taught me how to communicate better without fearing rejection.

Lessons & tips: Apologize quickly when you say something wrong or hurtful and be tactful- don't say anything you wouldn't want to hear...it's possible to do this and still be honest.  Surround yourself with supportive people :)
