My whole life others would speak for me, so now I never know what to say when others ask for my thoughts. How can I learn to express myself?

It can be difficult to express oneself when you are not used to it, but it is a skill that can be developed with practice. Here are a few suggestions for how to learn to express yourself: Take some time to think about what you want to say. It can be helpful to write down your thoughts and ideas in advance, as this can help you organize your thoughts and articulate them more clearly. Practice speaking with friends or family members who you trust and feel comfortable with. This can help you get used to expressing your thoughts and ideas out loud. Try speaking in front of a mirror or recording yourself. This can help you see how you come across to others and identify areas where you can improve. Consider joining a group or club where you can practice speaking and expressing your thoughts in front of others. Remember that it's okay to take your time and think about what you want to say. It's better to take a moment to compose your thoughts than to speak impulsively and regret it later. With time and practice, you will become more comfortable expressing yourself and sharing your thoughts with others.
