Messages should be Immediate. If you're hurt or angry, or needing to change something, delaying communication will often exacerbate your feelings. Your anger may smoulder, your frustrated need become a chronic irritant. what you couldn't express at the moment will be communicated later in subtle or passive-aggressive ways.

Trying to have a close relationship in which you don't express your needs is like driving a car without a steering wheel. You can go fast, but you can't change directions or steer around chuckholes. Relationships change, accommodate, and grow when both people can clearly and supportively express what they need.

Rather than building your self-esteem on being right, you might reform your picture of yourself into that of one who, above all, wants to find the truth.
