Expressing your feelings honestly isn’t wrong. It’s rare for someone to take offense at being told they are liked—on the contrary, it’s a blessing. So why is it so hard to take that step? Saying “I like you” should be simple, but around each person’s heart there appears to be a massive wall. Not a physical barrier but an emotional one. When we interact with each other, we hold back because we don’t know what’s on the other side of the wall.
