It is mind-blowing that we all as humans are so bad at communicating how we feel, what we want and what we should do. Maybe we are all just worried about social rejection?

As people at any age or stage of our lives, we all treasure human connect and connection. However, that seems to be the one thing we are really bad at communication.

So we say less, in hopes of not being too vulnerable. At the end of the day, that only hurts ourselves though we can't say what we mean and mean what we say, we don't get anywhere.

In my own life, I've seen ties with excluding people and lack of communication. I've seen others be nothing but hurtful to each other, as long as they aren't the odd one out.

If you are doing it to others, at some point it's going to happen to you.

Maybe people feel a sense of power, leaving people out- but they are just fearful of their own vulnerability.

This past year, through the help with my friends I am working on being a better communicator. With when I need people to rely on and letting them be there for me.

Good or bad it is important to be able to talk to people and actually learn how to communicate in different friendships.

The best thing you can do is to reach out to people and talk to them. People aren't mind readers, as much as you may wish they were.

Tell them how you are feeling and let them react and see if they are willing to work on it with you. Don't make the decision for them on whether or not they will take action.

We group up in this world that said saying how we felt, was considered "talking back" so is that why everyone seems so passive aggressive. If someone is not having a good day, make sure you build them up- without tearing anyone else down.

All we crave is a connection, so please just communicate. Maybe for the future, we should take a deep breath and make sure we say what we mean but talk about end goals.

Always keep in mind what you want to get out of communicating.

So let down your walls, include others and communicate. We shouldn't be afraid to tell others that we love them or that we need them.
