Honest with your feelings.

I find I sugar coat things a lot less than I used to. I used to be so hyper aware of other's feelings that I was just censoring everything I said. I don't do that so much anymore, if I have an opinion about you you're likely to hear it.

I actually find also that because of it my posts on PC are becoming shorter - because I cut to the chase now. I don't dance around what I'm trying to say, I just say it.
 
I feel like when I was a kid, I used to be.

But I feel like somewhere along the way I somehow learned it was a Bad Thing to just show my emotions off like I had, so....I started not to. Even nowadays I find myself hesitating to show my feelings about things, especially if it's something negative.

Although if confronted directly, I'll eventually tell my feelings without sugar-coating too much - but otherwise, I tend to keep things to myself. I guess I figure if I can get over something quickly enough (and I usually do), then it's not really worth bothering others with it.
 
I try to show my feelings as much as possible. But I've also learned in life that people can be sensitive towards your feelings--so sometimes I censor them to avoid conflict.

I really don't see why how someone gets sensitive to your feelings, though...
 
Heck no. I'm a big "people pleaser", which is definitely a problem. I need to let that go, because I've let certain people in my life walk all over me. I would feel so much better if I tell these people how I felt, I'm sure.

I've made a pact with myself to start telling people how I really feel because not doing so gets you nowhere.

This, except I continue being a "people pleaser" in hopes that I eventually earn their respects, even though they do something I should've called them out for. I end up losing to arguments against them no matter how many counterarguments I make.

I will be nothing more than a mere monster if I were honest about my feelings and not a big "people pleaser," so I try to sweep it under the rug, but it always comes back to me like some type of mutual parasite.
 
I don't cry in public- don't know why, I just don't. I'm pretty good at self- control and controlling my emotions. I just go home and let all the tears flow. They come in waves. I'll cry for a few minutes, then like 5 minutes later I'll start again, and so on until I'm over it. I always just have to talk to somebody and pray.
 
When it comes to feelings, I'm not very honest with them. These kind of things could affect how people view me and interact, and I really don't want to ruin that. :( If I'm good friends with you and know you well enough, then sure, sometimes, I wouldn't mind; if I just met you, then nope. Well, maybe, but only if I'm absolutely required to (such as when it counts on someone else's life), which rarely happens.
 
I'm fairly blunt with my feelings, but only if I feel like discussing them.
Usually if I feel a certain way it's passing and doesn't settle for long.

I'm usually told I really don't discuss how I feel or anything very much, which I guess is true, but... if I'm having issues with someone, they'll know pretty quickly.

I can't contain that very easily and I'll end up discussing it with them, even if they don't want to hear it.
 
Blunt? yeah, I have no problems being like that. Open? not so much, it's not easy to get to know everything of me. Honest? Absolutely, I don't to myself... that much.
