How to Express Your Feelings & Emotions Without Fear

Learn how to express your feelings and share your emotions without fear.

I wish I had know to do this before. That way I wouldn't have kept so many things to myself. I would have been able to share so many things with my loved ones!

Sometimes we're affraid of the response we will get when we share a feeling, emotion, goal, desire, etc. It's often confused with shyness or being introverted. But guess what?

We can control the way we want them to respond by letting them know how you would like them to react!

That takes away the fear of sharing personal things! So be confident about sharing!

But keep this in mind. If what we want to share is related to the person we want to share it with, we can't control or condition their reaction. So we need to make sure we're ready to accept what ever the response will be.

I don't know what's wrong with me but whenever I try to express my feelings or thoughts with someone I cry idk why but I just cry and my hands start shaking and I feel uneasy my breathing is uneven every time, even with my family and people close to me it always happens to me for some reason and I'm unable to say what I want to say it's like my voice is on mute I can't get anything out.

idk how to express feelings to other people and i feel so bad for this one guy because he likes me and i’m kinda just like dry and mean 😭

[sageinadaze]

I'm terrified to share how I feel. Anytime I did as a kid I was shamed put down or made to feel like my feelings weren't valid or accepted by my family friends or relationships. My most recent ex would take my concerns and feelings and turn it into a fight. They'd call me crazy. But now I'm with someone I really want to be open and vulnerable with and it's so hard. I don't know how to do it. I don't know how to be open and honest without fear of how they'll react and if I'll be put down again.

The thing is I don’t know why im feeling this way. Im so filled with emotions especially sad ones and my social anxiety prevents me from expressing that.

[BigTroubleD]

I really want to try and be brave and connect with others, but I’ve had so much rejection, invalidation and misunderstanding that I’ve kind of just given up.

I keep it all to myself now and am very cautious of who I share my true feelings with.

I fell in love with this boy before the coronavirus. I cannot even express how much I love him. I cry about him almost everyday. My family is too strict so I can't really tell any one about him. Although my best friend knows what I'm going through. It's been 2 years since I've met him... I reached out to him and asked for some time so that we can talk. I am so scared to tell him everything that happened in these past 2 years. Knowing that someome will read this makes me relaxed and kinda better. And I really hope no one goes through the same thing.

Fear is the Word. It is a lonely feeling when you have a hard time telling your feelings.

I've been repressing myself for so long and the only person I talk too I always fear to open up to them for some reasons but all that internal mess is really eating me I need to get it out but i don't know how

[RominaLamberti]

One thing i learned in life is no matter how you word things, other people may not be ready to listen and you'll end up disappointed. So you have to first gage if the person you are speaking your truth to is prepared to receive it. It's also best to find internal support, validation and love. The more we know we are complete, the less lonely we'll feel and the less
dependent we'll be on others for understanding, support and validation. Eventually you won't care so much if someone understands you because you'll know you've developed a true connection to YOUR inner being, which is the true being that wants to be heard and seen. And you'll know that even though others may not be there to support you, the universe supports you.

you're assuming we even TALK to our family members.

Really interesting point of telling the other person how to react before sharing something dear to us. Never heard it that way and it really makes sense.

Currently watching videos like this to be able to communicate my feeling with my significant other. I shut down and build a wall when I have sad of upset. I understand how it developed through my childhood and my relationship with my mom. But it's still so hard to overcome the wall I build around my friends and family

[ImaniHewitt]

Thank you so much for this! Just what I needed. That tip about telling people how we want them to respond before sharing emotions is gonna be so helpful😄

[justint]

Amen you hit the hammer on the nail girl, thank you, I needed this.

[jeremiahcorona]

Me and my girlfriend are taking a break until I can completely express my feelings so thank you

I Also Cry whenever im speaking to someone Emotionally because I'm afraid of conflict and I've been so stressed lately with my own issues and work and covid and I'm still trying to manage it. Now that covid has started I'm seeing some of the inner demons that my parents had and some of their toxic behaviour. I feel like I'm not going to be listened to it heard either

[janiaamenra]

Ive been seeing some things that anger me in my household and I don't know how to say it without blowing up and just hurting the other person. I feel like if I do say something then it's going to get me into trouble because I feel like it's been built up.

[deku]

i cant express my emotions or help people i know without being embarrassed. it troubles me since i love helping people and i want everyone to be happy but i just can’t help people i know. that’s really horrible of me. also, i think about how one day everyone i love will be gone forever and never come back, then i want to hug my mother and father and everyone else i love but i can’t bring myself to do it. i get embarrassed or something. no matter how much i want to do something like that my embarrassment always stops me.

[zaynabshah]

i struggle so much with expressing my sadness or emotion to the point where family members think i am cold and insensitive. In reality, i am a very sensitive and emotional person. I also CANNOT cry for some reason in front of others. I have to be alone. Sometimes when i've cried because i am upset and then it's visible that i have cried, i pretend that i am not upset and that i've actually hurt myself like poked my eye or something, kind of stupid but yeah. The worst thing is when i really want or need to cry and other people are there, i clench my fists and sometimes pinch myself to stop the tears from coming. I feel like i bottle up my feelings so much to the point that i am afraid that i won't ever feel any emotions anymore or that if i am a little sad i will end up letting all of my past hurts come out and i will cry excessively.

LOL i didn't expect to write that much, even if nobody reads or replies it felt kind of good to write it all out.
