Be more open about my feelings

and worry about whether I was hurting other peoples’ feelings.
I’ve learned that I worry about other peoples’ feelings a whole lot more than other people worrying about me.

I overcame the censoring thing several years ago. Recently, I’ve found that the more open you are, the more intimate your relationships are. For instance, after expressing my true opinions about things or people, I feel closer to my friends and aquaintences.

I think a certain part of me has overcome a degree of fear (fear of offending? fear of saying the ‘wrong’ thing, whatever that is? fear of being opinionated, and so, being seen?).

Anyway, it’s liberating and good.
