RE: A Closer Look Within

in Scholar and Scribelast year

Well, some realisation happened, followed by a transformation, and that's what matters. People not only need those who are truthful with them but also kind and empathetic about it. Interacting with people, even the closest ones, isn't always the easiest, but there are tactful and compassionate ways to do it. I wonder what they thought of your own apologies to them, though.

Sort:  

Mmm

No I never apologized, they did

That's rather interesting

I just think, they have known me since since and in that moment I only added more salt to their wound but I didn’t create a new wound…but then before I could say jack, I was dumped
So they left me wondering for days maybe I had a problem but now that they actually came back, and we’ve had some conversations here and there, did I add more salt? Yeah but according to them that was what they never thought they needed

But me in a different world just think I don’t have to keep on letting friends dump me everytime before I see that my method of delivery is brutal, because the truth itself is brutal…..what if they don’t return oneday.” So am i going to stop saying the truth to them? No but I’m going to be mild with the truth because I know deep down they need me as that only friend who would always say the truth.

I understand. And I agree that the truth can be said in better ways, especially to the ones we care about.
