Why we run from uncomfortable

When Did We Become So Afraid of Being Uncomfortable? We avoid the conversation. We say yes when we want to say no. We overexplain. We stay quiet because we don't want someone to be angry, disappointed or think we're the bad guy. But what if avoiding discomfort is actually creating more of it? In this episode of Open Up & Talk, we're talking about our tendency to avoid uncomfortable conversations and why sometimes we'll tolerate months or even years of frustration just to avoid a few difficult minutes. We'll talk about boundaries, guilt, silence, disappointing people, saying what you actually mean, and why feeling uncomfortable doesn't necessarily mean you're doing something wrong. Because sometimes the conversation you're avoiding is exactly the conversation you need to have. Welcome to Open Up & Talk, where honest conversations make a big impact.
