Often I want to be honest about how I feel but honest is often disrespectful.
It seems as if the are both even and I am not sure which one is wrong.
I want to talk to people about some things but I cant find respectful words, which is wrong being disrespectful or not being honest about how I feel. I need help, please!

I think you are confused. You NEED to be honest. You NEED to find the correct way to say things. What drives you not to even try is fear. Fear is not from God. I believe I know what you were writing this about...and you needed to approach me with it.
What IS wrong is resentment and bitterness. That's what fear will leave you with. See, if you are to afraid to ever confront your problems, you will soon start harboring ill feelings toward the person you have the disagreement with, then you will want to avoid them, then it turns to hate. All driven by your fear.
"There is much fear in you" - Star Wars. While I don't agree with a lot of the philosophy in that movie. But there is a part where Yoda is explaining how fear leads to the dark side. There is a smattering of truth in that. Honestly, bitterness and resentment typically only hurts the one that is bitter and resentful. Most of the time the one that you're mad at doesn't even know. It is pretty much always best to pursue issues and set your fear aside. Read Matthew 18:15 (I think) and let me know what you think.
Interesting, I wasn't afraid of confronting you it was that couldn't find the words without being disrespectful.
I did confront you later.
The verse helped me.
