Then as your confidence in your ability to communicate grows you can try it out on your sister. Best of luck!

I've tried this before with friends and it was easy because, of course, they are my friends who are like-minded and listen to what I have to say. I guess when it comes to my sister, I feel scared each and every time I want to say something that it just becomes a mess in my head before I have a chance to say how I actually feel. I am not good at communicating with her although I am trying. The one thing I always tell myself is "if you're not ready to face your fear now, when will you ever be?"
