I believe that I am very vocal when I say what I really want. I try not to be vague because I have a pretty good idea of what I want and I am willing to talk about the specifics if needed. When a situation doesn't go my way I am fully prepared and willing to let the other person know that I am either disappointed or frustrated with them or the outcome of the situation. I realize that the results of everything may not be someone's fault, but I will still make it well known that I am not happy with the results.
When things do not go my way I have a tendency to get disappointed. This occurs because too many people in my past have made me promises and have not delivered on them at all. They're fully content to just sit back and watch me squirm as I wait for their latest promise to go unfulfilled. I absolutely hate that and I will be the first one to tell them that to their face. I'm sorry if it sounds like I have high expectations, but when you've had as many people as I have break promises to you, it's the only way to react without getting mean.
There isn't any reason to get mean anyways. All you have to do is voice how you believe that you are disappointed in what someone has done or not done for you. Just enough basically to get your point across to them. Hopefully that is enough to make them change their minds or at least their behavior.
I think that everyone should be that vocal in telling people what they want and what they don't. I mean we aren't mind readers right? We need to be able to communicate what we want from each other. We need to be honest with each other and tell each other how we feel about things. We need to be vocal in saying what we want and how we feel about things to each other or the relationships we have are going to unravel right in front of us.
I've been shot down in the past for being so vocal about things not going my way or whatever. I know it sounds silly but I take pride in knowing that at least I got how I felt about something off my chest. At least then it isn't weighing on my mind and distracting me from things. I can focus more on the task at hand instead of being pulled away by something else that wants my attention.
I like being vocal in that I am telling someone how I truly feel about something. I'm not the type of person who wants to bottle everything up and hold it all inside. I want to be able to express feelings openly and without judgment. I feel when I let someone know how I feel about something that he/she'll care about what I have to say. If they want to brush it off, that's up to them, at least I got it off my chest.
In conclusion, I think it is good to be vocal in saying what you want because you're declaring to the world what is important to you. I think it is important to a human in general to be upfront and honest as well about what he/she wants. Otherwise the relationship you have, no matter how serious it is, can fall apart very easily.
Thanks for allowing me to share! xx

Sometimes I am vocal on what I want, depends on the mood. But most of the time no. Just keep it to myself and wait, if it comes, give thanks. hehehe
