Truth hurts & courage is scarce

Dear God...if a person does not have courage..that's the worst thing that could happen to them.

Not being able to say what you really think and know that even if its shunned and you are rebuked, that you've still said your piece; made your point.

Arrrggghhh it so frustrating when you are trying to understand certain friends...

I really want to tell you what's on my mind, but i don't know if you'll be able to handle it. I'm not sure if you will be injured or feel like I am an enemy instead of a friend. Circumstances have called for laughter and softer approaches,,,but you have not been getting my hints- have you?

I'm hurt by certain comments...and suppose that the theory that i am over-sensitive is right-that still makes me uncomfortable. If i am so easy to read- then read this!

But how will you know all this unless i can actually bring myself to say it, be direct, don't jumble words or say that i am fine when clearly i am not. You avoid and dodge and happily go around and around the bush...but all the while we are mis-communicating.

I'm assuming and you are thinking 'what on earth is wrong with you?'

I've got a few hours to get it together and tell you from one friend to another...the truth. I guess i was looking for a little help...some transitory statements or questions that you would ask that i could perhaps follow on with....but i feel like I'm out here on a limb, risking some heart and friendship.....

I'm not going to lie about feeling annoyed and belittled by what you had to say...but it comes down to what is the reason behind the words that are spoken...so I'm in need of a little therapeutic comfort at the moment..

But it seems that truth hurts....not just for the person who receives it but sometimes (like now) it hurts the person who has to give it!
