So if you’re feeling more motivated (and slightly entrepreneurial), blogging may be just what you’re looking for. There seems to be a large variety in the usage of "dare". This is made obvious in the OED where we read: "The original third person singular ’he dare’ and past tense ’durst’, remained undisturbed to the modern period, in which the transitive senses were developed; but early in the 16thCentury, the new forms ’dares’ and ’dared’ appeared in the south, and are always used in the transitive sense, and now also in the intransitive sense when followed by ’to’. In the original construction, followed by the infinitive without ’to’, ’dare’ and ’durst’ are still in common use (especially in the negative ’he dare not’, ’he durst not’); and most writers prefer ’he dare go’ or ’he dares to go’ to ’he dares go’. The northern dialects generally retain ’he dare, he durst’, and writers of northern extraction favour their retention in literary English when followed by the simple infinitive without ’to’".

In a recent study of this problem, Satoshi Ono, a Japanese linguist, sums up his findings by saying, first, "that in the case where ’must’ means inferred certainty or logical necessity, followed by a perfect infinitive, ’must’ can be regularly used in principal clauses of a conditional complex". 10 In support of this he brings out one of the examples cited by Schulze: According to Bolinger, "need" is used in the following types of sentences, "the third of which", he states, "Curme misses". 14 Need" is also practically used regularly, in negative context, in the preterite conditional followed by a perfect infinitive: On the morning, however, it was rainy, and every one must stay indoors. (Eliot, Clerical Life, p.124)

So if you’ve ever had any interest in filmmaking or taking photos, why not grab your phone (or a used camera) and start piecing together some shots and angles. b) In the first person, "must" often expresses an insistent demand or a firm resolve on the part of the speaker: Self-expression was never about impressing people, but it’s putting yourself on a path that’s real and honest. I know I have. I even dabbled a bit myself – just a couple auditions, nothing serious. But I can tell you it’s a fantastic creative outlet.

In a recent article in the British newspaper The Guardian, a nurse reported that failing to express our true emotions is one of the most common deathbed regrets.Self-expression gives others access to who you truly are, especially your loved ones. It’s an outlet to release all your thoughts and feelings into the world in a healthy and calm manner. Repressed emotions cause more anxiety and stress than you think. You may think that it isn’t necessarily needed, but it’s what defines who you are. Words are the most powerful way to express who you are, which is why you can easily express in writing everything you can’t say out loud. Words leave a significant mark, especially when it represents your thoughts, emotions, and beliefs. But really, it’s best to not get too bogged down by the “rules” and best practices. Because these things can feel overwhelming if you’re just starting out. Liberate others. Courage is contagious. Your willingness to be direct and honest makes it easier for others to do the same. I had no less than five several morning dresses, so that I need never be seen twice in the same dress. (Fielding)

Life is full of circumstances where it can be difficult to say what we’re really thinking, but silence sometimes comes at a high cost.

The Thorndike-Barnhart Comprehensive Desk Dictionary solves the problem in a completely different manner. According to this dictionary the difference between the two uses would simply be one of level of formality: "Note that ’need’ with the meaning of "must", "should", "have to" in rather formal usage is used as an auxiliary—that is, like "must" and "should" it has the third person singular form "need" (rather than ’needs’), it takes an infinitive without "to", and in negative and interrogative constructions is used as the main verb, not as an infinitive with ’do, does’. Examples of typical use are:

Start small. It’s okay to move slowly. Talk with your best friend about how her showing up late for appointments affects you. Soon you’ll be able to approach people who may be less directly concerned with your well being. Learning how to express yourself with a camera is a blend of technical know-how, vision and storytelling.But, according to Jespersen and many others before him and after, the sentence of the type just mentioned are not the only ones where "must" is used as a preterite. Jespersen expressly states that "though this dictum of the great authority is, of course, substantially true, some examples of ’must’ to denote a real past time have been collected by Stoffel". 7 C.Schulze went even farther and stated that the use of "must" as a preterite of reality is "far from being rare or obsolete", that "it occurs much more often than ’was (were) obliged, forced, etc." and is deliberately used to express all shades of the notion of necessity. 8 Statements in which the need is negatived (with "need not", "need never", "need no" plus adverb or noun, "needn’t") Although all the examples given above are in the present indicative, "need" can also be used with all the characteristics of an auxiliary in the preterite indicative and the preterite conditional. And then, just like "must", it will have the same form for the preterite as for the present.
