    Is expressing too much a good or a bad thing? I find it can be a bit pushy if expressed too deeply and frequently.

    It depends on the person you are with really. With my husband it is ok for him to express how he feels about me without limit. But for me to express how I feel more then a few times a day is being over baring to him. Where I love for people to express when the feel something for me as much as they want if its good of course.

    Either express it or swallow it. I'm not too much along the positive lines that relic is writing about, it's the negatives that get me into trouble. But great gradma taught that swallowed feelings cause ulcer juice, so I let 'em all out. Lost some aquaintences along the way, but still ulcer free!

    I really think it depends on the person......Im great at telling people that I care.....but I get really shy when someone says the same thing to me.....I know , its strange !!

    It can be good or bad. It just depends on the situation and the people involved.

    Eh? Maybe I am pushy. I don't do the truly madly deeply frequently dribble but I have been in a couple of relationships where communication was definately a problem. I express myself pretty well (I'm not going to pretend I don't) and I do react pretty quickly to situations if I sense keeping quiet about it is going to cause more damage. If the other person cannot tell me / treat me in a way that I feel I should be treated, no, I won't stick around.

    In the same way if they cannot express their frustrations or passions properly, sayonara. I've wasted too much of my life waiting around for people who have NO gumption, and waffle here and there like a limp and deflated cheerio in a bowl of sour milk.

    well. when people dont really express their emotions it looks like they don't care sometimes,or they are dead inside,to be honest. i hate when ppl say that men should not cry or stupid things like that. as long as we are human beings we have and need to express our feelings.
    my boyfriend cries sometimes and it makes me even more confident about our relationship and i know he cares and he could express it however he wants to cause i love him anyway.
    i think it kind of depends on the person you're with.but if they dont accept you for who you are and the way you feel/act why be with them?

    Maybe beause you take it to your heart as you mean it...and maybe because you are a modest person..also because it make you happy...why not !!

    Yep people have to communicate and express themselves otherwise there's a hell of a lot of drama, so I say expressing yourself is a good thing, as long as it's not in an unhealthy way (IE abusive etc).
