Social fear and going out more, judging people less, positivity.

I am quite not sure how to frame it lol but maybe this could work- I am working on expressing my true emotions regarding something more like setting boundaries and being more direct! (:

I am a great communicator when it comes to expressing myself and talking effectively. For me, the problem arises when I get silent treatment even after being nice to ungrateful people. Sarcasm, avoidance, being too arrogant, thinking of yourself as superior to others are some of the tactics used by few people instead of communicating which creates a rift with icy walls between individuals.

I have zero tolerance level for people who are melodramatic attention seekers playing hide and seek. For instance, if you wouldn't want to communicate with someone, just let them know politely and cut playing games with them, as simple as that. I believe that people with icy cold behavior are welcomed nowhere.

Currently, I am working on identifying those barriers and breaking that ice to ensure better communication. Also, I am working on dealing with such people with great patience by remaining calm.

Thanks for reading. ❤

I think I am pretty good with communication but the place I fall short on is that i am the one to always listen to others ( family, friends, stranger, ect). I give up so much of me time just to be there for others, listening to them. But when it comes to me needing to talk...no one is really there for me.

so i think as far a communication, i need to work on being assertive and sharing MY needs with othersw and talking about my things, too. so i guess it's working on assertivness and and putting up healthy boundaries.

I need to work on the anxiety I get when talking to people. I'm not very assertive and I have a hard time saying no - sometimes I say things only to realize too late that I shouldn't have said anything at all - not everyone appreciates honesty

My social communication skills. I am really bad at social communication skills since I suffer from social anxiety and have an extremely cracked self-estreem.

Not to take people's words straight into my heart. To be courageous to express my real thoughts to others and say no to others and not be afraid even if they don't like it (I tend to always let others have their ways to keep my good image).
