How to tell others what I really feel...when I feel it
It made me
feel 'eh...' 
"It's a mixed bag, sometimes it's worth it, sometimes it's not. Some people just don't want to hear the truth."
How I did it: I've pretty much always told the truth when it concerns people and their questions. But honesty is not always liked, and in some cases it can get you into a lot of trouble. Sometimes it really is easier to tell someone what they want to hear, to avoid an argument about something which seems trivial, but means a lot to them. I would never tell someone what they want to hear when it would make them feel foolish later on, in those cases, honesty is the best policy. It's just hard to gauge sometimes, so be careful.
Lessons & tips: Reticence; be very careful. The truth is a powerful thing. Some admire it, others are upset by it, and some simply won't believe it.

It’s a great feeling. And as much as you think “I don’t think others will accept me when I say what I feel, when I feel it.” They most definately will, maybe not everyone. But they will look up tp you for expressing yourself so much more.

it’s so worth it. being able to tell people what you think and why. sometimes it’s good, other times it’s bad. but more good than bad. don’t be afraid. think of this if you can’t make the words come out.

but the cautious do not live at all."

This is one of my problems ..when I feel something I don`t say it unless that person asks me about it. I don`t like to go up to someone and just start tlaking I feel like I annoy whoever is there. it`s just the way I am but i`d like to change it ..suggestions ?

I have a feeling this goal and the one beneath it are the hardest ones on my list.
But oh, how wonderful it would be to say “I have done this.”
it's hard to choose this goal sometimes

I would like to feel comfortable telling others my feelings and thoughts when that information can hurt their feelings. It may be that it’s supposed to hurt their feelings and in turn make me feel that pain and act in a more responsive way, sensitive to their feelings. Whatever it is, going against the grain can be hard, and bearing that bad news, testing.

I’m hesitant to share certain feelings with people I dont know very well. Well, actually I’m wondering if I should really tell people what I’m really thinking when I’m thinking it. Guess, it depends on what it is.

SOmetimes this isnt such a great thing, like now when I just told me friend that he was annoying me asking me a lot of questions that he really didnt care to know the answer to in the first place.
I had to tell hiim though because he was driving me craxy. The problem now is that I feel really bad. I feel kinda guilty for being so honest.
