Being open is a kind of invitation to others to come in, to speak and to share. It is important in letting others
42、get to know how we think and feel. In this way we will be understood and accepted by others. If we arent open with others, we wont fully believe in ourselves or others.Here are a few ways for you to be more open. First, make your outside behavior the same with your inside feelings and thoughts. Seco
43、nd, share how you really 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 will understand you more easily. For example, you might say, “I feel happy that youre here,” instead of, “Are you glad that you
44、re here?” Finally, try not to say, “I dont know.” This usually means I dont 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 you dont know well, because you are not
45、sure how someone else will use what they know about you. Besides, some people may not be used to too much openness. 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 wed better keep
