Have you often asked yourself why it is so difficult to express your feelings to people in your life? It is important to find your voice for many reasons. Maintaining your self-respect is one of those reasons.

Many people say they don’t like conflict. Unfortunately, they don’t deal with some important issues because of this. This conflict remains unaddressed, which can become ongoing internal anxiety over the years to come. There is definitely an art to understanding how to communicate your emotions effectively. Not everyone has this gift, and it can take time to master this skill. That’s not to say that it can’t be done.

How Can I Overcome the Fear of Sharing My Feelings? Steps to improve your emotional communication with others.

1. The first step is to remove the fear of emotional expression by making subtle changes. When you discover the power of honest communication, your life will change for the better. You’re no longer hiding behind the pretense of what you’re feeling. You are respecting yourself, and speaking your truth. This doesn’t have to end in conflict if you choose your words carefully.
2. Start saying hello to people you come in contact with during the day. Ask them how they are or how their day is going. The more comfortable you become chatting with others, the easier it will be to handle all types of conversations.
3. Do not let things fester when you are dealing with difficult situations. The more you ignore the conflict, the more internalizing you will do. This will hold you hostage and eventually shut you down.
4. Show some vulnerability. This keeps you real and helps you be more emotionally available. People will be more receptive toward you when you start opening up.
5. Be gentle and diplomatic with how you communicate your feedback to others. Diplomacy is the key. This continued practice will greatly improve your interaction with your daily connections.
6. Use your instincts to trust people. You have to give a little, to get something back. Trusting yourself is also a stepping stone to open communication.

Some men and women think that by burying conflicting situations, these challenges will eventually disappear. Sadly, the opposite usually transpires. These issues will become deep-rooted and continue to cause problems in your personal life.

Don’t spend your life feeling hurt by something or someone. You will feel more confident by acknowledging any emotional pain that you’re holding onto. When you shut down and stop communicating, it can become a very lonely environment. It also pushes people away due to the closed-door atmosphere you are presenting.

If your partner or a family member is causing you sadness or drama-filled conflict, it is crucial to acknowledge this.

This is someone you see regularly, so the pain will be ongoing if not corrected. If this negativity continues, it will eventually become a toxin that interferes with your self-esteem. Gently confronting the problem can often alleviate an ongoing dilemma.

If they continue to cause never-ending arguments with you, then it is probably time to walk away. Staying in a destructive relationship, of any sort, is damaging to your self-worth and confidence. Comprehending when someone no longer has your best interest at heart is imperative.

Living in a hostile environment is very unhealthy and eats away at your soul. It is always worth finding the tools to repair emotional isolation. Sharing your feelings is a part of everyday growth. This helps you evolve to a higher level of who you are as your authentic self. Hiding behind a wall will keep you stuck in a lonely place. People want to see all of you, not a shell of who you are.

Learning how to be emotionally open and available is very beneficial to your well-being.

Being openly communicative doesn’t mean you have to put yourself where you don’t want to be. Standing up for yourself should never be a forced action. It should become a natural and diplomatic reaction. You can gently express that you feel uncomfortable with what is going on in a certain scenario. The argument or conflict should be mutually addressed to find a compromising solution. Being in alignment is necessary to have a balanced connection with people in your life.

Taking the time to learn how to communicate will alleviate turmoil in your life. You may think this is not worth your time and energy because nothing has ever got results in the past. Unfortunately, this type of thinking is what got you here in the first place. It is always worth the effort made, to have a strong foundation in your relationships, your friendships and your work connections.

If you want to have peace in your life, conflict needs to be addressed before it escalates beyond repair. Life always has twists and turns to deal with. You are not going to always get along with everyone. However, the one thing you can control is being true to yourself.

Please don’t sit quietly on the back burner, letting others rule the roost. Don’t allow someone to always have their opinion without offering your own valid response. Your voice matters! Sometimes you have to teach others how to treat you. There is no one better to show them that message, than you.
