@NoSelfSelf It takes emotional labor to say what you authentically feel, if you haven't done too much inner work on yourself.

Communication can be tough, especially if you hide things under the rug.

Authenticity should be a goal that we strive for because it makes every second enjoyable and eliminates the egoic need to put on a front.

Figuring out your values and embodying them leads to authentic life (IMO).

One thing on the note of feeling what you authentically feel about a situation is that I've found some questions helpful get me unstuck.  

"What am I hiding from myself?"

"What is wrong with this moment in my opinion?  What would I change?"

These questions often reveal embarrassment and other kind of subtle emotions that I've kind of pushed off to the side because I naturally repress them a bit.  You can do this for thoughts too, I've never not been deluded as far as I can tell so every time I realize I'm deluded and find a thought I've been hiding from myself, I think, well what's next, I've been deluded my whole life, I'm still deluded, lets figure out how.  This attitude has helped me tremendously
