1. Share your feelings
- Don't bottle up all your feelings inside. It leaves you disappointed and unhappy
- If you find it difficult to express yourself in to a larger crowd, open up your feelings to a person who is close to you
2 . Don't shy away from expressing your opinions
- use these words like "I think...", "I believe..." to share your opinions. It can be right or wrong ...
But, knowing your opinion is what people will need
3 . Expand your vocabulary
- Large general vocabulary helps you to express yourself better. This is because you have more words to describe the way you feel about certain things or events
- It broadens your possibilities of expression, which in turn makes your thoughts clearer
4 . Check your facial expressions
- Pay attention to how your face feels when you look happy, thoughtful, disgusted, sad, worried, suspicious, or surprised
- Experiment with them. With practice, you'll be able to choose what kind of emotion you want to display
5 . Hand gestures
- Practice hand gestures in a mirror until they feel natural to you
- Notice how socially skilled people use their hands, try to pick up some gestures to try for yourself
- Keep your movements smooth and don't overdo it
6 . Avoid plain tone when you talk
- Implement some ranging tones and pitches into your voice
- At times, it's not what you say but how you say it matters
- If your words carry no emphasis, alter the tone and expression for each sentence
7 . Belive in yourself
- You should be very confident to be more expressive. Take baby steps each day and appreciate yourself for your progress. This boosts your confidence greatly. Also, surround yourself with people who support and encourage you
8 . Be honest when you can't find the right words
- There might be times when you cannot express how you feel. Take few minutes to process your feelings
9 . Write more often
This habit is underrated
A good writer expresses himself better than a bad writer. You don't have to be a seasoned writer. You can begin by writing things as little as your thoughts.
I hope this helps someone.
