Sometimes people are afraid to say their feelings out loud because vulnerability can feel like stepping into the unknown. You don’t know if the other person will accept, reject, or even misunderstand what you’re trying to express. Fear of rejection, judgment, or losing the bond you already have often keeps words locked inside. Yet keeping your feelings hidden can weigh just as heavily, leaving you with unanswered “what ifs.” Speaking your truth is scary, but it’s also the only way to find clarity, whether it brings closeness or closure.
