I am so conflict-avoidant that I’m now at the point that most people in my life don’t actually have any idea I’m even close to being a commie. I really want to start expressing myself more openly and honestly - especially since I feel like I’m actually harming my mental health by not saying how I feel - but I always feel held back. Any tips on improving this are appreciated.

I feel better when I do, and if it leads to shitty people no longer being in my life, I feel even better.

When I'm nervous, I remind myself that I'm going to die. So while I'm here I'm going to do everything I can to enjoy my life.
