The ability to properly express ones self is a important life skill that helps people understand you quickly and form trusting relationships. Without it, frustrations, misunderstandings and an inability to make friends/connections will ensure.
If your like me and have a sub optimal social life (read: introvert) you might not have access to people who you can practice your self expression with. And you can only talk to a certain amount of animals before you (and onlookers) begin to question your sanity.
Why Writing?
As a reader, you've undoubtedly read easy to read stuff. The kind of novel you can read without having to stop to think. So when you write & proofread, you can see the difference between your work and the easy to read stuff & adjust it. With practice, you can not only create easy to read stuff, but do so on the fly.

What kind of writing?
Any kind, you can write about your feelings, you can describe your most vivid and happy memory, You can write about your day. You can write about oranges as if the person reading it was blind!
Should I show other people & ask for feedback.
Remember the goal is to help you communicate better so you don't need to show others if you don't want to. If you think feedback could help make sure to explain what you want feedback on!
For Example: If your writing a description of a cheese you ate once, explain you want feedback on how well the cheese was explained.
Your going to suck at expressing at first, but focus on improvements. You know roughly where you want to get to and any feedback that doesn't work towards that is a distraction.
