Breaking Down Barriers: The Importance of Self-Expression

_credits

There are some times in my life when I'm unable to make someone understand me. I've been through many situations where I've failed to make someone understand the real me or my words. There are many misconceptions about me because I could not explain myself well. In the past few years, for this reason, I've lost many people from my life because I got misunderstood. It is not a good feeling when I lose someone dear to me. But what could I have done to make the people around me understand me better? I have always wondered what it was that made others go away from my life.

Actually, it was all my fault; I didn't know how to communicate properly. I didn't know what I should say in some circumstances, and I would go blank. I really thought that maybe I wasn't a good person, and that's why it was happening, but not at all. I'm fine as a person; all that was wrong was my inability to make others understand my feelings. This is the worst thing that I've done in my life. I regret it very much, and I broke out of this loop. It's saddening that even if everything is okay now, I've already lost many things from my life because of this reason. But I can only mourn about it and can't do anything about it.

Well, the first thing I did was try to be honest with people about what I really felt, because hiding it only increased the distance with others. The more I talked about my true feelings, the easier my situations became. Also, I started to confront people when I didn't like something; because of this, I started to build some great bonds with my friends. They can understand me now, and it's much better than before. Well, if I don't express myself, how will someone else know about me? They can't know without me showing it to them, right? I need to be myself in order to make people understand me thoroughly.

Also, I've increased my self-confidence; it helps me deal with people, and they learn to respect me more as they get to know my personality. I tend to maintain a good personality in front of everyone so that they know my value and how to treat me. If I don't have any personality, then no one will take me seriously, but I want to be taken seriously because that's who I am. I'm really a serious person. Yeah, I do have fun, but it's not always. As you can see, the changes I have made in myself have helped me communicate easily with others and make them understand me. Now, I can say that everyone can read me like an open book because that's what is happening in reality.

Anyway, I feel that one should open up more in order to make others understand them; otherwise, it's not possible to read someone's mind. So, by taking baby steps, it's possible.
