Interpersonal Communication Thoughts

[unspeakablehorror]

One thing I'd like is to feel more comfortable communicating with people on more serious interpersonal issues. Anything that requires confrontation is extremely uncomfortable to me, so much so that I tend to prefer simply to try to repress, ignore, or avoid such things in any way possible. But I feel like I need to learn how to feel more comfortable with that if I want to improve my relationships with others.

I do think I am fairly assertive when I do confront people about things, and I think I've improved in how I do so as well. But there's still a lot more I could do better. Would probably help to work on my trust issues too. I'm always going to be a very private person, but I don't think I need to keep so many of my feelings private.
