Speak up! I can't hear your thoughts!!!

Why are some people so afraid to share what they are thinking or feeling. I think that is one of my favoritest things about myself, is that if I think it I normally say it. If someone looks real pretty in their new easter dress, I say so, in all my relationships I try to always be open and honest. I mean I'm a pretty closed person when it comes to the deep personal stuff, but why hide what we feel. I am all for the open and honest approach. When my mom was alive she'd tell people never to ask me a honest question unless they wanted an honest answer. I just think if we were more open with how we felt it would make things in our relationships a whole lot less complicated, there would be no guessing games. Do they like me or not like me, does this dress make me resemble a whale or Catherine Hiegel. Not meaning for this entry to be a boasting session or anything but one of my other favorite quality about myself is I don't get offended. And maybe that's what stops us from being open, the fear of offending or hurting others feelings. But I think it's so good to express things, I don't think we should go around and tellin people we think they are fat or that their haircut isn't very flattering. But if we think someone did something well, why not tell them. And in our all of our different relationships, why not be open with how we feel about that person or how that person makes us feel. Ok and if you don't want to speak up then make your actions more clear. I don't think words are needed in order to express how you feel, but sometimes we fail to even act like we care. So this is really just a random venting, even though I do know people like this, no one has rubbed me the wrong way with it lately lol. But I do see in others relationships and lives that they loose out on good things because they don't speak up, then I also see people wondering how someone else may feel about them and they wouldn't have to wonder if the other partee would just step up and speak up. AVOID THE DRAMA AVOID THE BEATING AROUND THE BUSH..

  1. Hahah! I love this! You're so right! And I am one of those people who say what I mean, unless it's not important and then I don't say anything. I love your last sentence "Avoid the drama, avoid beating around the bush" So true!
