~*~Goals of better communicating~*~

Communication can be the best thing ever in a relationship (*of any kind) or the worst thing ever. I think its in the top 5 for important factors on how to have a successful relationship with someone. I tend to jump to conclusions and over analyze a lot, which today I'm writting asbout ways to improve that. Well... a few ways will be to listen to the whole story before I come up with my opinion on it, look at the whole picture on the page not just the pop ups, don't take things to an extreme when I'm not positive on what's going on. Its hard for me to be the best communicator due to the fact that I don't express my opinion in every situation or every time it's asked for. There are times I don't want to because i don't want to hurt someones feelings or I don't want to deal with the bad consequences and other times I am not confident in my response so I just don't give one. I am always listening to everything and everyone, I just am a total quiet person if I am not 100% comfortable. When it comes to "communicating" my feelings... ha I tend to hold in all my feelings and not talk about things because I would rather avoid confrentation. Everyone always tells me thats not healthy to do but it works for me in a way so bla bla bla
