I'm not always kind when expressing my truth to others. I try to be, but it's a work in progress.
I find it's not so easy to be emotionally stable enough to have the clarity of mind in the 'heat of the moment'
This is not easy, especially when someone is aggressive towards you. The aggressive types trigger aggression in me, and oft times I have to separate from the situation altogether to avoid a physical altercation. I wholeheartedly despise violence, but when in fear, I have become violent in the past. Having a history of trauma at a young age acts as a compounding affect to this I believe, but the mind is powerful, and I try to drill it into my mind that no one can dictate my emotions but me.
When I figure out how to completely remove emotional response from disagreement, I'll be sure to let the world know... That's not an easy one (for me anyways) 😆
Thanks a ton for reading and expressing your view on this. I really appreciate it 😃
It's indeed empowering and liberating when you are honest with yourself and others, and from my own experience, makes for a better life. Complete and full honesty will cause friction and many people might abandon relationship with you, but the friends you do have will be the right ones ;)
