Original Advice
“DONT: Punish their honesty with dramatic reactions.”
Reward Truth, Not Theater
When someone gives you the unvarnished truth, your first instinct is to flare, to turn the room into a battlefield. Every slammed door, raised voice, or cutting comeback trains them to hide the next thing. You think you’re defending your dignity. You’re actually rewarding silence. Honesty is not a weapon against you. Your reaction is. Own the heat before it burns your bridge.
Truth is a mirror, not a match. It shows you what’s real; it doesn’t have to ignite you. You claim to prize courage, yet you scorch the person who brought it. That’s fear in armor. Choose strategy over spectacle. Ask one clarifying question. Breathe once, then twice. Let the words stand. Reward the risk. People tell the truth where truth survives intact.
Cosmic Context
