Communication Troubles

[Levelskid]

So, ever had a situation where you can't convey your feelings, intentions, and overall explanations without offending or confusing others, so you just decide to stay quiet and not say anything at all? I've been doing that a lot lately, and I think it's having an effect on my social life. My mates says I'm fine, but I want to do/be better. Is this normal, or am I doing something wrong?

Eventually people will start to turn away from you if you keep it up because it will seem like you're turning away from them.

If they're your mates you should be able to say contentious things without them taking offence. It might raise some awkward conversations but that's an important part of learning to have trust and faith in each other.
