If I were Gloomy Orange🍊🐷...

how would I express this emotion?🌟

Hello, I’m Gloomy Orange.

I often have a lot of feelings I want to share, but I’m scared that if I speak up, I won’t be understood — or worse, that I’ll make things awkward.

Sometimes, I keep everything inside, thinking:

“There’s no point saying it…”

“Will people think I’m too sensitive if I say this?”

But deep down, I really want to learn — how to express my sense of being wronged, instead of silently getting hurt.

🍊 1. I can start by admitting: “I feel really uncomfortable.”

Most of the time, I hide my feelings behind a forced smile.

But now, I want to try saying:

“I’m actually a bit upset.”

“When you said that just now, I felt a bit wronged.”

✅ Focus on how I feel, not just the facts.

Because what truly needs understanding… is my emotion.

🍊 2. I can express myself with “feeling + reason”

Instead of just saying: “I’m sad.”

I can add another layer:

“I felt overlooked, because I tried really hard to participate — but it seemed like no one noticed.”

✅ This shows I’m not overreacting — there’s a reason behind how I feel.

🍊 3. When words are too hard, I can try small ways to let others know

If it’s too hard to speak up at first, I can:

• Pass a small note: “I have something I want to share today, but I’m a bit nervous… would you listen?”
• Send a message: “I’ve been feeling a bit off — can I talk to someone about it?”
• Draw a picture to show my emotions

✅ It’s okay to take it slow — expressing myself doesn’t have to happen all at once.

🍊 4. I can gently but firmly say: “This feeling really matters to me.”

Sometimes, I can add:

“It might seem small to you, but it really left a deep mark on me.”

“I’m not blaming you — I just want you to understand that this wasn’t simple for me.”

✅ Letting others know that my feelings matter, even if they don’t see it the same way.

🍊 5. When others don’t understand, I can remind myself:

I have the right to feel. I don’t need to apologize for my emotions.

Even if someone reacts coldly, I can still say to myself:

“Just expressing it was already a huge step.”

“Feeling something doesn’t mean I’m wrong — it means I care.”

✅ Expression isn’t about seeking approval — it’s about honoring what’s inside me.
