Why is it so difficult to say something? It is hard to put thoughts and feelings into words, to make them come out as a rational and comprehensible stream of syllables that will convey the desired meaning, without misrepresenting anything or saying the wrong thing. Expression is complicated. It is not merely the words that are said but also how they are said, the intonation, the implications behind it all.
Revealing thoughts and feelings is complicated. It involves taking risks. It calls for guts, and those are hard to come by. Very much so. And as a result, it always boils down to that one moment when suddenly squirming is no longer worth it and hiding it further is just excruciating and awkward and suddenly it all pours out. It's never beautiful, oftentimes not even reasonable.
This is human communication. This is what is considered necessary and essential to interactions between people and proper relations. Knowing that somehow doesn't really make it any easier, though. Because having to say things and express them and admit to the truth...that's still difficult. Maybe it gets better with time, a bit easier...or maybe not. Either way, it is what it is. No more, no less.
