Why communicate when they should be able to read your mind 😒

I think the best way to communicate better is yo just talk. If you're upset, tell them. If you like something that they do, tell them. Same goes if you don't like something that they do.

Easy to say if it is something that comes naturally to you. For example I am really good at talking about things that bother me or how I am feeling. She isn't good at it and I am not sure how to make it easier for her.

I can't read her mind... unfortunately.

@mar3sword: I think the best way to make it clear that you need the lines of communication open, is to tell her that. Young women, I'm assuming she's your age, are awful at communicating, usually.
You know what they say, though..you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink. If she doesn't value you or your feelings, she won't make the effort to talk to you.

@LivingDeadGirl: I know that she cares. I have been pretty clear with the idea that she should just be straight with me and talk to me...

I am not sure how to make it easier for her to talk to me.
