do you easily express your feelings?

frankly speaking, i'm the type who tend to keep my feelings to myself because i feel anxious whenever i tell anyone about it. but over time i think i can manage to trust several people so that i won't feel overwhelmed by that..

Frankly speaking, I find it hard to pour my feelings into words, thus I prefer to keep it to myself instead of explaining whatever I am feeling to people around me (not because I don’t trust them though)

no, it's still really hard for me to express my feelings, especially in real life.

It's not easy, I'm the type to keep all my feelings. Because I was afraid that if I let those feelings out, others would definitely get hurt.

Depends on where I'm going to express it. Talking about my feelings directly with someone related isn't much easier than writing them down in my private memos.

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. 🙃 Depends on what kind of feeling is it and what kind of people I'll talk to bout it.

i used to not express my feelings really well because i was too shy and get intimidated by other people. buckling my feelings is something i would do on my daily basis, but i realized that people could get advantages from it so i tried to reduce it slowly. now, i find it suffocating being not able to tell my true feelings to someone. i tell them when i'm annoyed, delighted, embarrassed, and many more. i think communicating my feelings with other people would clear up the misunderstandings but still, if i could manage to held back my own feelings, then the urge to express my feelings has faded

To be very honest, most of the times Im scared to express my true feelings towards others because of the thought that im gonna be left out if they are know my not-very-well side and sometimes i think im gonna be too demanding with my feelings, so no i found it hard to express my feelings.

Not really... I often feel shy and overthink if i express my feelings, worried about what my partner would react if i do it :(

noo... i'm a person who tends to have difficulty expressing feelings, i'm also insensitive to my own feelings [this is my weakness] T______T
