Communication isn’t an easy thing for anyone-it must be learned. Those who appear good at it, just had years of practice. I’ve changed so much as a person I barely remember what I used to be like when I was younger.

However I do recall I used to be more shy, less communicative, more careful about what I said. I was insecure, afraid of what others might think of me-held myself up to a higher standard that I didn’t often meet. By doing so I let people off easily but I was hard on myself. Forgetting that they are people with faults and foibles just like me.

Consequently I was reserved/meek when I should’ve been more unhindered/confident, which lead to some great missed opportunities. Additionally I also let people treat me unfairly only to get angry later and kick myself for not standing my ground.

Anyways as you’ve probably gathered I’ve matured a lot since then but it’s experiences like that build character and which help you realize what you should become. So don’t be hard on yourself if you find it difficult to communicate. I’d suggest reading more books, hanging out with friends/family more if you can and it’ll help you hone your skills more.

Keep in mind also that some of the biggest stars/celebrities used to be awkward kids too, but look at what they’ve become today.

why can’t I post? I typed out a message with nothing offensive in it, but it just disappears.
