Tip treats when we are straightforward people that our words can hurt other people.
🖤 When your honesty hurts someone...
Someone once told me that.
"Your straightness... sometimes it hurts others."
I was quiet for a while then.
Not because I don't know what to answer
But because I was asking myself...
"Are we wrong... to be ourselves?"
The truth is,
We don't need to stop being straight.
But we may have to "learn how to lighten that truth."
Because
Truth + How to Say = Different Results
🌿 Tips: Coping with feelings of self (non-self)
1. Don't rush to blame yourself all.
Being honest is not wronged.
But the impact is something we can take responsibility for.
2. Separate "intent" and "result."
You probably didn't mean to hurt.
But if it hits someone else... it's feedback, not attack.
3. Give space to feel yourself.
Don't rush to make excuses.
Don't rush to explain.
Just admit, "I'm feeling something."
4. Learn the Soft Edge of Truth
Can say the same...
But choose the rhythm, tone and words that "people can handle."
5. Dare to apologize... without devaluing yourself
"I didn't mean to hurt you, but I understand that I did."
This is the power of a leader, not weakness.
Finally...
Being straight is not a problem.
But being straight "understandably"
Is the higher level of being human.
💛
You don't have to be less than you.
Just be a more conscious version of you.
