Verbally sharing our emotions or thoughts to someone is hard. It can be nerve-wrecking and you can sometimes set yourself up to fail. Each conversation you have isn't ever planned, most of it is all on the spot. If you accidentally say something when you're in your feelings and didn't mean to, often times it is hard to take it back. However, there is a way to potentially make this better, and that is with writing.
Writing is such an easy way to settle with your emotions. It is planned, revised, and thought out very well most times. It is easier to describe how you're feeling when you can take the time to really dissect it. When you're trying to tell someone how you feel in conversation that is in person, you may stubble upon your words and even give up. That can be very frustrating because what you had to say was important and now you can't exactly say it how you meant. Writing can help this. For example, if you have a massive crush on someone, and you want to tell them how you feel about them, then write it all down. After you have it down, you can hand it to them in person and be there as they read it. You won't be as nervous, and your thoughts will all be said uninterrupted.
Not only does writing help when it comes to your emotions and thoughts, but it also helps when it comes to your mental health. It is very difficult to come to terms with yourself when you are depressed. It is hard to fully accept that, and it's even harder to talk about it. Something that I have tried when I felt like I had no one else is to journal. If you write down what you're feeling in a journal everyday, it could help you become more open to getting help or even just bettering yourself in general.
Writing can help you, please take it to your advantage. It can make you more prepared, and able to have you speak everything you had to say.
