I so hate communication because I think people will start to get angry with me…that’s why I don’t speak up even whe necessary because I am afraid they would snap

Has it ever happened? Why would people get angry at you for just talking? For all you know, those people might want to hear what you have to say.

I have this theory that many of us are actually starved for honest feedback… but I’m at a loss too, because when you give (feedback) people tend to believe its ok to be angry. We shoot the messenger, and we do it again and again, and that’s why there are so many personal echo chambers it seems like these days…
Maybe I’m still sore about my time with Facebook and am the wrong person here. But in my life it feels like people pride themselves on self control (being withholding about honest feedback for one thing) so I firmly believe it’s really doubtful anyone is going to snap at you. In organizations, (another sore spot) people talk behind your back which could occur for you, or the fear of that exists anyway.
To me it seems like maybe just maybe, there is too much listening going on… speaking up could be a breath of fresh air, but it’s such a balancing act and I personally failed at it bc like many with this illness, small talk just doesn’t happen for me, I move my back row in checkers, too much etc. I speak with too much meaning maybe. I’m frustrated bc loved ones don’t see it, or pretend not to see it.
