Original Advice

DONT: Don't punish honesty with drama or mind games.

Choose Candor Over Combat

Someone told you the truth and you treated it like a challenge. You raised your voice, cross-examined, went cold, then hot, just to feel the burn. You call it passion. It's punishment. You are training the person you want to trust to hide from you. Every explosion after honesty says: lie next time. That's on you.

Honesty is not a duel; it is an invitation. If you turn it into sport, you lose the prize. Drama makes adrenaline; it also makes distance. Mind games feel clever; they poison safety. Truth needs soft landings and clear rules. Set the terms: calm tone, short questions, no scorekeeping. Reward transparency and you'll get more of it. That's how heat becomes home.

Cosmic Context

You're Mars-ruled: built for initiation, quick to clash. Use that raw courage to protect truth instead of attacking it.
