Do you avoid honest conversations because of conflict or because of what they might reveal? Are you protecting your heart, or protecting your ego?

You think of really great questions by the way!

"Do you avoid honest conversations"

I do not. i welcome them with open arms. it is very very important to me to always speak honestly. i don't view revealing my vulnerabilities as a weakness and if anyone judges me harshly for revealing them... well i wouldn't wanna be their friend anyways so fuck em lol.

However i do respect others desire to protect their vulnerabilities. i understand the difficulty in expressing them.

Honest conversations are fine with me, and I don't think I have a need to protect my heart or ego from anyone.

I tried having an honest conversation recently and it did not go well, so now I avoid it to protect my heart, not my ego.

No, I am very forward with most people.

My aim on GAG is to help people stop running from the hard talks and start having real, healthy connections.

Most people avoid honest conversations to protect their ego, then call it “protecting my heart.” Honest talks expose our flaws, double standards, and red flags. That’s ego pain. Protecting your heart is “I deserve safety.” Protecting your ego is “I don’t want to look wrong.” Very different vibes, babe.

I avoid it sometimes because it can be so awkward depending on the topic.
