Lately, love..
The feeling that I have failed my wife and family
I often struggle with being honest if I know it may hurt someone's feelings, or cause uncomfortable conflict.
Hurt. I don't express it well at all.
Apologies
i find it hard to express how much i care for everyone that cares for me.
When im uncomfortable with something it is often the toughest thing for me to express. I have been actively working on changing that for the sake of my happiness and the ones closest to me.
I could not be more happy of your hard work and effort. This will change your life and those around you forever. I love you.

I don't believe I have trouble expressing my emotions. I wear my heart on my sleeve. I like having emotions but sometimes I think I may have too many
I completely suck at showing emotion, I tend to rationalize everything. I do try though.

I guess when I need to be comforted, that's when I tend to clam up and sulk... like I'm hoping that you'll sense my need and come to me. Trying to be better at that.
I have trouble with expressing myself period! From excitement to affection to any and all else. I think I've Improved on a lot of them but if I had to pick one I have trouble with is when I'm hurt. I can't put into words what I feel and that is if I even let you know.
Honesty. If I know it may hurt someone...I struggle with telling if I tell them at all.
It's hard to show my boyfriend that I love him. :(
I would have to my sadness and my feelings
When I'm hurt or when I regret something then it's hard to explain but usually with my husband I can easily express almost all my feelings
I have trouble expressing what I want. Although my husband would probably say "she is vocal" I actually struggle A LOT to say what I want and need. Especially since my husband takes my expression as a form of complaining. Making it that much harder.
