ddar,

I think that there are a few variables which make communication more or less easy.

1.) It depends upon how strongly ingrained this behavior is within you.

2.) Are you able to be honest in other relationships (with friends &/or family)?

3.) Is you bf open and honest with you about his emotions and experiences?

Hopefully, the behavior isn't deeply ingrained within you ~ ruining most relationships that you've had. I hope that you are able to maintain other relationships in a healthy way & that you decide to sit down with your bf and have a serious talk. I agree with Leed, your imperfections won't surprise your bf. Chances are good that he's already noticed some of these little things.

Like a few of the above posters, I'm more on the extreme side myself. A big problem that follows me wherever I go is the difficulty in being open and sharing my true feelings. Some issues have been gone over every which way in my head, and I feel very ambiguous and Q everything. I'm working on getting off this tough road I'm on, but it isn't overnight and it takes a lot of work, building up trust in others, and building self-esteem.

Best wishes to you!
