Can't pretend

How many of you are people who can pretend that everything is okay in your relationships, when something is really bothering you?

How do you decide when it's worth confronting?

It's really bothering me, but don't know if it's worth it.

I am not a good pretender...

Just wondering.

Guess it depends what relationships your are referring to - your siblings/parents, your husband/children, friends? It also depends on how important it is for you to resolve it or to move on from whatever is bothering you? Is it really worth it - like choosing your battles? I'm the type to wear my heart on my sleeve - an open book, but I've also learn when to keep my mouth close and to know my audience.

And of course, its all about delivery but if you really feel it's important for you and the other person's relationship and growth, then definitely go with your gut and have the conversation.

I can't, at all! I'm not good at letting things lie or choosing battles - I always have to have everything out. I don't know that it is a good thing. Often I just confuse the other person. But, at least I get things off my chest, I never feel walked on or duplicitous.

p.s. May I come to you for R"H?
