Is it worth telling someone how you feel?
It is saying how you really feel for the person, whatever is authentically inside your heart. Expression of affection builds bridges. Some of the most awe-inspiring or emotionally moving moments of our lives can be hearing something true, meaningful, and heartfelt that someone feels for and has decided to say to us.
How do you tell someone you’re nervous?
Instead say: “I’m always here for you.” If you don’t know what it’s like to have severe anxiety, be honest about that. But also let them know that you know it’s real for them and you want to be there to support them however you can.
Should you let someone know you like them?
If you have a crush on someone who is already coupled up, it’s generally better not to reveal your feelings. It’s unlikely to lead anywhere and you really do risk losing them as a friend because they might feel very uncomfortable being around you knowing how you feel and yet also having a partner.
What happens when you hold your emotions in?
“Suppressing your emotions, whether it’s anger, sadness, grief or frustration, can lead to physical stress on your body. The effect is the same, even if the core emotion differs,” says provisional clinical psychologist Victoria Tarratt. “We know that it can affect blood pressure, memory and self-esteem.”
Why do I feel obligated to say yes to everything?
Often, they are a result of my own self-doubt and desire for people to like me. For example, I feel an obligation to say yes to any invitation or request I receive. Sometimes I’m glad to agree, other times I’d prefer to do something else.
What should you look for when you meet someone new?
When you meet someone new—perhaps your new office assistant or a blind date—there’s a little tension as you start to negotiate the relationship. You must look for clues to decipher whether the person likes you or is interested in getting to know you better.
Why do we feel guilt when we choose something else?
We’re trying to ease our own feeling of guilt. Choosing something another person might not like can prompt feelings of guilt in us. When we feel guilty about our decision, we often turn to explanations and excuses to convince the other person and ourselves that we have a very good reason for choosing the way we did.
How do you politely tell someone to stop over sharing?
Sometimes people will take the hint, but you may need a more direct approach if the other person continues to overshare. Saying, “It’s going to be hard to maintain a professional relationship with you when I know so many details of your personal life,” could be helpful.
