S5 EP 28: The Real Reason You Are Scared Of Seeming Rude

Why are we so scared of sounding rude? In this weeks' solo episode its a question I try to answer by looking at culture, social conditioning and the fear of both judgement and conflict. I delve into the costs both short term and long term in self-worth, integrity and authenticity. Understanding that you can be assertive and put in clear boundaries without being rude is important as is recognising that learning to handle judgment and conflict helps build mental and emotional resilience. I leave you with the following questions to ask yourself coming from a place of curiosity not from criticism! Powerful Questions to Ask:🌟Who taught you that speaking your truth was rude? Was it true then, and is it true now?🌟How much of your energy is spent editing yourself to avoid conflict or judgment?🌟If setting boundaries and being honest makes you rude, what does abandoning yourself make you?🌟How would your relationships change if you stopped softening your voice to be 'polite'?🌟What’s the worst that could happen if you said what you meant—and meant what you said?🌟When was the last time you over-explained your decision because you didn’t want to seem 'rude'?Need help with anything I've talked about in this episode or a health issue that is getting you down, whether its anxiety, eating, alcohol, autoimmune of gut issues please do drop me a message by email or social media.
