I’m talking about the parts of our thinking that we wouldn’t want to stand behind. Not every thing that crosses our mind deserves to be delivered – psychopaths lack that knowledge. Even with just ourselves there’s a need for questioning and filtering.

are you insinuating that my point of view is psychopathic without understanding what I am saying first? Did I say every thought? Let me be more clear for you. 1. the relationship is valued - truth 2. something true needs saying. - truth 3. truth is the goal but delivery can be modified through language and demeanor. So if all these are true and the relationship is functional, and you are not a psychopath, then the path to truth with minimal damage comes through the communication style you choose to employ. The style you choose to employ reflects on you and not the partner. so maybe try not to throw around words like psychopath in describing people or thoughts that you have not taken the time to understand. stay free fren

There one no insinuation there! 😂 Only an illustration. I guess that’s why we need emojis. 😌 I hear you, and I think we’re talking from two different angles that can absolutely coexist. Stay free, too! 🫂
