I need help!

I have a problem.  I  keep the peace too much.  Sometimes I wish I could be the person that says what I feel regardless of the repercussions or hurt feelings.  It's my dad's fault.  He crammed it in my head when I was younger. "Think about what you are going to say before you say it," he'd say.  In most cases I agree with him.  But now I think I think about it too much.  Don't get me wrong, I still speak up for what I believe, but I do it in a nice "watered down" sorta way.  So don't piss me off because then I might have to sit down and contemplate what I am going to say all day and then take an hour to type it and delete it and rewrite it because I can't say it to your face because I might say something I will regret later.  ARRRGGGGGGGGG.

Oh, I hope you can just push through and try it sometime! Just say what you are thinking. I used to always be fair and reasoned, but now...well, you've met me. It's a great feeling!

And seriously, you are one of the kindest people I've ever met. Speaking your mind now and again is not going to change that!

You know, I really think it's a fine art to be able to speak the truth but do it in such a way as to as to not come off completely crass and insensitive.

It's becoming a forgotten art. Look at how rude people are to eachother, how inconsiderate children have become? It's all about number one. You don't want that, nor do you want people to ever think you're a pushover. It will come in time as you hone your skill.

Sure I've said things I've come to regret later, but I've also gotten many compliments on my ability to be diplomatic.

hugs and strength to you...from your older counterpart. :-)

Sara...you just don't have a mean bone in your body! And I love you for it!

But Em what are you talking about? You NEVER say out loud the things you are thinking! Ok, not never....
