I wish it was easier to be more spontaneous - I also would like to say "I love you" but I don't. I have been able to say things about need and attachment and we both use the term "loving feelings" - so the positive feelings are acknowledged. But yes, sometimes it feels shameful.
Expressing anger is scary. We talked today about how my experience with anger is that someone takes mine, adds it to their own and then gets a lot angrier and lot meaner that I ever was. So I don't express anger because I'm afraid of fueling someone else's fire. It makes sense but I need to work on directing it at the right person.
