It shouldn’t be
difficult as we are essentially emotional creatures, but the reality is that
when we have to communicate, the emotional level or ingredient is often a big
challenge.
There are several
reasons you could find for that, such as the complexity of human emotions or
the fact they are hugely controlled by the social environment.
Even though it is not
fully confirmed, when you don’t express them, your emotions accumulate until
one day, you explode, so your anger
towards your boss makes you lose your job when at last you tell him or her what
you are really thinking. Another option is that you will live your life
bitter, always thinking of the many possibilities of expression…
But if you express
yourself improperly, then that emotion won’t have the effect was intended. For instance,
if your anger with your boss is expressed
with your life partner, well, your boss won’t know about it, so no changes will
happen and emotions will keep on accumulating, besides your partner will resent
the treatment.
However, if you take
some time off. If you just relax a bit, and reflect another bit… Maybe you can
calm your mind in a way, so that your emotions get clearer and, because you are
very calm, you may find the right moment and the right way to express them. You may find a way to sit down and have a real
conversation with your boss, expressing your emotions in a way that sounds
constructive and inviting a change in your relationship.
So, make a list of those
emotions you haven’t been able to express, just relax and reflect, and you will find a
way of doing it.
