How do I get the balance “right” between censoring everything I say.. and so basically saying nothing at all.. and sharing “too much” / “whining” etc

 Your forum friends certainly don't expect "balance" or "self-censorship" from you.((((((( )))))))I can see where self-censorship is useful in many contexts and social situations. I must confess I've often chosen silence over "getting it wrong".

I’ve never once seen you “get it wrong” on here (if you did I wouldn’t judge that ) as you say, our forum friends don’t expect “balance” or “self censorship” I “get it wrong” a lot in real life .. but often I am silent :-( __________________

I have often chosen silence over "getting it wrong" IRL social situations. It has only been in the last few years my confidence started growing & I do a lot of research to learn which has helped confidence....but I still find times when silence is good just less often now. __________________  Leo's favorite place was in the passenger seat of my truck.

 Assertiveness for us includes silence. When we speak our emotions cannot easily be kept under control. We need to feel safe to allow them out. |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
