Be able to express myself better

oh,well
maybe practice at home may help.

I am really working hard on this one lately. I must say that it is something that I think has improved over the last year. Going back to school and starting a new career has really helped.
Also, I must admitt that I have a friend that told me that I needed to express myself better. That I tend to hold thing in and not really show my true feelings about things. I think the reason I did that was because I just did not know the words to say.

Ok. No problem saying what I need to say, but the misery lies in me tending to end everything Ive said with an unsure phrase.(Examples : I guess, I think, something like that, or whatever..etc.!) I just want to be able to express myself as well as I do in writing. (Which reminds me to add “Improve my writing” on my list as well. Yikes!). Also have a problem with being too vauge. Long ways to go, but am looking frwd. to this improvement.

the reason i dont think that i express myself as much as i should is because im a listening person and i feel that people think that im bored but if expressed myself more through speech more then i guess that they wouldn’t think i was bored.
ALTHOUGH… maybe i shouldn’t care what others think about me because if they like me then they’ll like me for who im being which is myself?

can anyone help me on this one because im not a chatty person and dont know how else to express myself1!!! :-)

sometimes the words just don’t know how to come out of my mouth right.

Although in regular speech I’m probably not getting anywhere (because I’m not actively thinking about this goal) but I did have to give a talk yesterday which I worked on. It wasn’t 100% perfect (or even like 65%) but it was ok, and I got some good compliments on the talk.

I’ve got to give a presentation tomorrow and I’m challenging myself to do a really good job – which may or may not put me off my game. I am prepared (for once) though and think it has a pretty good chance of going well. I want my coworkers to be amazed!

It’s hard for people to tell how I feel because I bottle everything up. Often people don’t even know when they have done something to upset me, so they keep doing it

I am shy and reserved so I find it hard to interact with people. Especially dates.
