It would be great if you can share few examples of your truth/unconventional measures. There are a lot of instances where people would use the phrase "brutally honest" and are more brutal than honest. Books on communication would say "How you say it" matters a lot more than "What you say".
- “Honesty without compassion is cruelty”
Is it the "Truth" part that is hurting and not the compassion/lack of it on display aka the delivery?
- aa6ll 3y agoIt is not the delivery, because I was talking mainly about myself. What I was referring to, was taking actions inspired by being true to myself. For example, quitting the job I disliked, instead of trying to fit in with the rest. Cutting connections with family members I disliked their affect on me. This made me feel more lonely.
- KuriousCat 3y agoI can not talk about your family members as you would have the best context. Only out of curiosity, have you already explored techniques from books like Crucial Conversations or consulted a therapist before cutting connections? As far as the job is concerned quitting the one you dislike is only 10% of the work, finding the one you like is the 90% of it. I am sure that once you find the one you like you will be far more fulfilled.
- aa6ll 3y agoInteresting. I think I didn’t explained myself very well. I feel lonely, but I’m not depressed/anxious about it. I’m quite happy really, although this disturbs me, as to why I opened this thread.
