There are many emotions in my heart, and what I want to say may hurt others, but I feel that those are my true thoughts. I am entangled in my heart again and again, and the cold war becomes the final way to express myself. When I disagree with others, I worry that it’s my own fault, so I often keep silent. When we take the initiative to do something, we don’t explain the intentions behind it because we are afraid that others will think we are taking credit for it. Therefore, we often feel that we are not getting the response we deserve. In fact, there are times when I try to express myself, but I can’t express myself clearly and end up being misunderstood. When I want to explain, I’m considered to be making excuses, so I become less and less willing to express myself. https://www.dace.com.tw/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/%E7%82%BA%E8%87%AA%E5%B7%B1%E8%AA%AA%E8%A9%B1-%E5%85%A7%E5%AE%B9%E5%9C%961.jpg **When we can't express ourselves well, our inner concerns are very real, and we often have concerns about others. Regardless of the reason, the inability to express ourselves well and clearly often leads to results that are not what we expected.** For example, at work, you think other people's opinions are better than your own, so you don't express your own ideas. Over time, others think you are incompetent and important tasks are not entrusted to you. In relationships, because you are concerned about other people's thoughts and feelings, you don't express your own ideas. In the end, you are often misunderstood and your inner needs are ignored. Compared to the difficulty of expressing myself, every time I have to bear such negative impacts because I cannot express myself well and speak for myself, I feel wronged and painful inside. In fact, we can do this: take care of our concerns and intentions when expressing ourselves, and speak well for ourselves. __**The "Speak for Yourself" series of lectures focuses on different topics, helping participants overcome their difficulties in expressing themselves and become able to speak for themselves.**__ If we possess the ability to express the right ideas, we can gradually overcome our communication problems. By correctly positioning ourselves, we can transform our anxieties or concerns about expressing ourselves into motivation to practice expressing ourselves, allowing us to clearly articulate our thoughts and ultimately speak for ourselves. https://www.dace.com.tw/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/%E7%82%BA%E8%87%AA%E5%B7%B1%E8%AA%AA%E8%A9%B1-%E4%B8%BB%E9%A1%8C%E5%9C%961_comp.jpg __**Course Contents for Topic 1:**__ Whenever I speak, other people's looks and reactions bring me immense pressure, because I don't know what they're thinking, or I always feel like they don't like it. I worry that what I say isn't good enough, or that if I express a different opinion, they'll take it personally and resent me. Sometimes, even if it's my true feelings, I choose not to speak out for fear of hurting others. These concerns become a barrier to expression. Even when we try to express ourselves, we tend to be extremely cautious and indirect, making our expressions awkward. We may even be so concerned with others' opinions that we adjust our words mid-sentence, ultimately being perceived as repetitive. This prevents others from understanding what we truly want to express, leading to our genuine thoughts and intentions being misunderstood. __**Over time, I became less and less willing to speak up, but I also felt more and more wronged by others’ misunderstandings.**__ In particular, I find that sometimes I am unable to say what I should say or fight for the rights I deserve; I often have to suppress my true feelings or say things against my will; because I don’t express myself, I am seen as not being committed and participating; others will ignore my needs, and I feel like an unimportant person. Because I am not good at expressing myself, I have to put myself in a difficult position. Gradually, I have a lot of emotions in my heart and I don’t like myself. __**Learn to express yourself and stop letting yourself be wronged!**__ The lecture will help students understand how to deal with the dilemma of "being afraid of other people's thoughts and not knowing how to express them." It is normal to care about what others think. What is important is how to correctly view the ideas expressed by others to you, to be able to transform the ideas of others into help to adjust your expression, and to know how to adjust in one direction. Through continuous practice, and then through the responses of others and corrections, you will gradually be able to express yourself clearly and speak for yourself! https://www.dace.com.tw/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/%E7%82%BA%E8%87%AA%E5%B7%B1%E8%AA%AA%E8%A9%B1-%E4%B8%BB%E9%A1%8C%E5%9C%962_comp.jpg __**Course content for Theme 2:**__ "Not being able to express ourselves clearly" makes us lose a lot of confidence in expressing ourselves, and we gradually become afraid to speak. When talking to others, I am often asked: "What are you talking about?" "What's the point of the speech?" "You've been talking about this and that, but could you please clarify?" I've clearly tried my best to express myself and to say the key points that are on my mind; for some reason, the other party just feels that there is no focus and doesn't understand what I'm saying. The accumulation of these negative experiences gradually makes us worry about not being able to express ourselves clearly before we even open our mouths, which leads us to express our ideas less often. We even become insecure in relationships. Even when we have thoughts and feelings, we choose to remain silent, believing that it is better to say less and make fewer mistakes, and to accept what others say as the truth. __**Over time, I felt more and more pressure to express myself, became less and less willing to speak, and my inferiority complex became stronger**__ Later, I'd discover that my original thoughts and feelings might have been valid, but because I didn't know how to express them or was afraid to do so, I missed the opportunity. Even worse, others began to view me as incompetent or misinterpreted my original meaning, with comments like, "You just don't have any ideas!", "You have a low sense of presence," or "You're a bit aloof." Ultimately, I'd not only lose confidence in myself, but even feel like withdrawing from others. __**This lecture will let you know the key secrets to speaking clearly!**__ The lecture will teach "A system for clear communication and a course of action for implementation." By integrating this system and course, students will learn the key points of communication and the judgments used during the process. Mastering these crucial points will allow students to express themselves clearly. No one is born with the ability to speak clearly; rather, clarity is a skill that can be acquired through practice. By mastering the key to clarity and practicing it repeatedly, you will develop the ability to express yourself clearly! https://www.dace.com.tw/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/%E7%82%BA%E8%87%AA%E5%B7%B1%E8%AA%AA%E8%A9%B1-%E4%B8%BB%E9%A1%8C%E5%9C%963-comp.jpg __**Third Theme: The More You Can’t Say It, the More You Must Say It**__ Many times, we know we should express what's on our mind, but we just can't. There are many reasons for not being able to speak out, and we often choose to remain silent, struggling to decide whether to speak or not. __**At times like these, I often choose not to say:**__ I feel that other people's attitude towards me is weird, but I don't know how to ask. I'm worried that I'm thinking too much. If he doesn't mean that at all, it would be very embarrassing to say it out loud. At work, I may have some different ideas, but my colleagues’ ideas seem to be better, so I feel there is no need to express my own ideas. Therefore, I often become the one who makes no contribution in meetings. When you are in trouble, you receive a lot of help from others and are filled with gratitude, but you don’t know how to express this feeling. You feel that if you deliberately say it, it may be a bit too pretentious and make people feel overwhelmed. When I do something wrong, I feel very guilty inside. I know I need to apologize, but I don’t know how to say it. Will it make people feel that I am insincere? I even feel that because I did something wrong, the other party may not want to hear anything I say. I don't specifically explain my own proactive ideas, as I feel that saying them out loud would be like taking credit. But if I don't say anything, others won't know, and the original ideas often cannot be realized. Over time, feelings that cannot be expressed continue to ferment in the heart, and negative feelings accumulate more and more, affecting interpersonal relationships; thoughts that cannot be expressed make people misunderstand one's intentions and thoughts, and the development of things is often contrary to what one originally thought. __**These words that you can’t express out loud should be expressed with courage. Through constant practice, you will learn how to say them appropriately!**__ We think that expressing ourselves should be natural, without being too deliberate or overly concerned, just speaking our true thoughts. So, when we feel a lot of concerns before expressing ourselves, we think that perhaps our thoughts are not right and decide not to say anything. In reality, expressing ourselves isn't always natural, as we take our thoughts seriously and also value the people we interact with. Because we're in this world, we're more cautious when expressing ourselves, constantly thinking about how to say it best. It's normal to have a lot of internal considerations. However, to find the right way to express yourself, you need to speak out loud first, and then constantly adjust and practice. By speaking out, you can become more clear about your thoughts; through others' responses, you**understand their state of mind and express yourself with more direction.__Only by speaking up bravely can you gain more information to inform your judgment and know how to best respond**__; in the process of expressing yourself, you can resolve your inner concerns and worries, rather than leaving yourself in a state of confusion, with all sorts of feelings but no concrete basis for judgment. In the lecture "The More You Can't Say It, the More You Must Say It,"__**will teach you how to master the key to precise practice in every conversation, knowing the right position to speak from, so as to**situations where your words could lead to__. With a willingness to adjust and constant practice, your expression will improve. More importantly, you'll give others the opportunity to fully understand your ideas! https://www.dace.com.tw/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/0427%E7%8B%82%E8%AC%9B%E5%BA%A7%E7%85%A7%E7%89%87MCC09609-scaled-e1618570654544.jpg __**WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?**__ **★ Know the precious and important part of yourself** **★ Find the criteria for judging others' evaluations** **★ Solve the fear of being judged by others** **★ Self-examination after expression to make it better next time** **★ Correct way to practice expression** __**Who is suitable for this expression course?**__ **1.
