We tell ourselves that being upfront, having the tough conversation, being real, asking for what we want and need, giving the feedback, or holding them accountable is just too awkward, hard, and uncomfortable.
So we don’t.
And then we wonder how come our frustrations and resentments worsen and our relationship becomes even tougher.
The unspoken is never benign.
The unspoken will fester, eat us from the inside out, and will do more damage than just having the tough conversation.
Take a breath.
Getting your thinking brain online.
Own your part.
Use curious language.
Believe the best.
Be clear.
