Original Advice

Avoidance breeds bigger blowups: People-pleasing is delayed honesty. If you dodge conflict, resentment doesn’t vanish—it compounds and erupts later. Speak sooner, or the explosion chooses the timing for you.

End Peacekeeping. Choose Honest Friction.

Your politeness is camouflage for fear, not kindness. Every smile you use to dodge the hard sentence loads the muzzle. Resentment doesn’t evaporate; it accrues interest. Avoidance breeds bigger blowups—scheduled by fate, not you. When you swallow anger, it leaks as sarcasm, distance, forgetfulness. Name the friction while it’s small. Speak sooner. Rip the tape off your mouth. Choose clean conflict over moldy harmony.

Harmony kept by silence is counterfeit. It rots trust, blurs boundaries, and siphons your time into managing everyone’s temperature. Pressure doesn’t vanish; it moves. A sealed pot hisses, then blows. Early truth is maintenance, not cruelty. Small sparks burn tidy; wildfires eat homes. Let anger be data, not drama. State the ask. Set the edge. Trade anticipation anxiety for the relief of daylight.

Cosmic Context
