What do we really mean by being open? Being open is a kind of invitation to others to come in ， to speak and to share. It is important for others to get to kn ow how we think and feel. In this way ， we will be understood and accepted by others. If we aren’t open with others ， we won’t fully believe in ourselves or others.
Here are a few ways for you to be more open. First ， make your outside behavior the same as your inside feelings and thoughts. Second ， share how you re ally feel about something instead of just opinions. Third ， try to change your questions into statements(陈述句) and talk in the first person so that people wi ll understand you more easily. For example ， you might say ， “I feel happy that you’re here.” instead of“Are you glad that you’re here?” Finally ， try not t o say ， “I don’t know.” This usually means I don’t want to think about it any more.
Remember also that it is not suitable to be open with everyone in every situation. You may want to be more open with close friends ， but not with people yo u don’t know well ， because you are not sure how someone else will use what they know about you. Besides ， some people may not be used to too much o penness. If we say everything we feel or think to them ， they will feel very uncomfortable at times.
In all ， being open is a good way for us to get on well with other people ， but we’d better keep the balance(平衡) between being open and not being too op en.
