No one else has written here, so I am going to go and write something *myself*, god-dammit!!
Expressing honestly, in Nonviolent Communication, is another way of saying "speaking from the heart". With NVC, there is a *specific model* to help one do this. This is the old four-step Observation, Feelings, Needs, Requests gag applied here. So, to translate my first sentence above into an NVC means of expressing honestly, it would read as:
"When I notice that no one has written something for the "expressing honestly" entry [that's the observation] I feel annoyed and frustrated [that's the feeling] because I am wanting some consistency and completeness[that's the feeling], so I am going to go and write something myself [that's the request, made to myself in this case]"
It is recommended that when honest expression is being done, that is always end with a request of some sort. This is to help to avoid "dumping on" people, instead providing a means through which others can take in and respond to what was said, thereby hopefully further movement would come about in that issue.
