Why is it literally so hard to just speak up for myself or what’s bothering me. I need to talk to my bf about something but my body freezes and I physically can’t talk. Like I go mute.

you’re probably scared of being “too much” or being possibly rejected with your intense emotions of care. it’s okay and if he’s a good and caring person then he’ll understand.

True, he’s been saying that I have no emotion and that I’m not any fun 😕 I’m afraid that bringing up what’s on my mind will change things but it might be for the best

write it down. tell him in very abstract terms that your body freezes up when you want to talk to him about something potentially uncomfortable. tell him you think it might help if you write it down. give him letter or place it somewhere he will find it
