I don’t know how to communicate my emotions

Some people who know me a little bit might be thinking “Um…”

No, it’s true. I can communicate my thoughts and opinions, but not my emotions. To be honest I have a difficult time understanding my emotions

How does one develop this skill? To me it seems like everyone does it so effortlessly

@DeluxedEdition That happens. So what do you need to communicate about them? Genuinely interested not trying come across flippant.

@hippyjoe1955 I let it get to a point where I end up losing my temper or sanity

@DeluxedEdition Ah I see. So you mean control rather than communicate?

@DeluxedEdition you can't just say what you're feeling?

@DeluxedEdition it does... The answer "neutral" is valid

It's a lot simpler for men. Men only have three happy sad and mad.
Women seem to have 19 different kinds of happy 23 kind of sad I forgot the number on mad. Expressing emotion is like expressing thought
