although this comes quite easily to many people, it is very hard for others. the first step you must take is beginning to recognize your own feelings, so you can tell them apart. You are a lot more complicated than you think! What do i do, and feel like when i am mad? happy?jealous?excited? frustrated? sad? Then, when you have the need to express your emotions, you arrange them in a sentence starting with "when __happens, i feel___". This way, it is very clear to the other person that you are not blaming them for a specific emotion, even though you may want to. Good communication is essential in relationships. If your partner has done something, such as flirted with someone in front of you, you need to stop. think about how you feel right at that instant. then when you have the chance, you say to you partner "when you flirted with that person last night, I felt sad and upset (or however you felt). That made me uncomfortable to feel that way"" Your partner will respond in a way that acknowledges your emotions, instead of feeling attacked. an example of an attacking sentence is: " You flirted with that other person! You made me feel awful and you don't even care!" see the difference? attacking sentences point fingers and blame using words by saying "you". Expressive sentences use the word "I" and "me". It is not being self centered, it is how you express emotions! It is your time to shine. It is healthy, normal and is vital for conversations and relationships. Happy Expressing!
