Why We Struggle to Tell People Things Aren’t Working

from Being You and Free · host Shilpa Kapilavai

None of us is taught how to have difficult conversations, so people do what feels most comfortable to them. We ghost, we get busy, we make excuses. And we move on carrying a little guilt, a little regret, knowing we could've handled things better.What if incompatibility isn't a failure but just a fact of life?In my latest episode I discuss why we struggle to tell friends and partners that things aren't working.
