How do you tell someone how you feel

Have you even had difficulty telling someone how you felt about them or about what they have done or not done.. Perhaps you appreciate them..do you let them know..? Do you easily express your feelings or are you shy ..and very rarely let your true feelings out?

I'm really vocal with my feelings, especially if I appreciate this person a lot. And sometimes I even give simple gifts/cards and help him/her in their tasks. But when someone hurted me, I don't go around the bush. I don't like arguements, but I want to know the reasons of such sometimes cruel behavior. And settle the issue. Nothing personal, just the current problem or issue. That's all. Because I have learned that you have to speak up for yourself, because sometimes no one will. So you have to stand for what you believe in, especially if you are right. But keep focus, don't get it too personal. Make peace not war.(^^,LOL^^,)

Nope, I believe you, someone may be good in writing but not vocally. I was shy too before but to be able to teach and train especially when they are older than me, made me acquire some self confidence. So just more practice would help you a lot. You are already good with words! Happy "vocalization"! (^^,)

I am an introverted person,and i seldom tell others my feeling.But feel reliefed after i open my heart to my friend online.Is it stange?I just don't know why.Maybe it is because i can not see him even he tease me. Sometimes we should release our feeling.It is helpful to our health.And to find a soul friend online is not a bad choice.

I agree..it's so much easier to write out one's feelings then actually speak them..I think ..it's a security blanket of some sort ..not have to see someone face to face and say exactly how we feel..glad we do have the net;)+

It really depends on how close I am to the person. I love writing letters and giving homemade cards to let people know just how I feel. I love doing things for them to show how much I love or appreciate them. I also like to vocally express it, as long as I am not upset ~ then it is hard for me to get my feelings out.

Telling people how you feel about them is kinda hard to do. If you like them, then you can easily tell them you are the best friend I've ever had, but if you don't like what they did, then it is hard to tell them for fear of making them mad at you.

I would never want to hurt the feelings of one of my friends;) I wonder how shy people ever tell anyone anything good or bad..;)+

i have a hard time telling someone how i feel about them face to face, i am better at writing it down and letting them read it so that i do not have to see their face or hear their comments if they do not like it.

Yes I'm shy as I am not intended to say truth about anything bad in general and if something is good then I mention is without hegitation. But wherever I feel that the people are unavoidable and may effect my life severely then I try to be honest.

It is better to tell something good to them,no telling all to them.even they are your best friends.everyone has amour-propre.
