My new goal for meself is to say exactly what I want to say when I want to say it, regardless of the consequences. I think too much, and I definitely worry that the people I love will go away if I say something they don't like. Crazy, right? Right.
So far, it has not gone as well as I had hoped. I tried it with the first person to tell me, months ago, that I NEED to say what's on my mind. And of course, this person did not really mean it and went away when I tried before. So, I really had nothing to lose in this relationship. It...kinda felt good. I may have been a wee tad beyotchy but I didn't say anything mean or untrue. Just stated something in a way that I would not normally.
We'll see how it goes. It's a process. Hopefully people mean it when they say they want me to be honest and say how I feel. If not, I guess I'll end up a lonely gal.
I have decided to start speaking my mind at work too, and let me tell you, it has been refreshing for me...hahaha
