Whether you’re getting it off your chest, venting, expressing yourself, airing your feelings or “just being honest," the truth about honesty is that honesty is not always the best policy.
The truth is honesty is often a veiled form of self-indulgence.In a nutshell, when feelings build up, it’s frustrating to “sit” on them. And, of course, it feels damn good to release them. That feel good sensation is a form of gratification. When we dump emotional turds on others, we are flushing our relationships down the toilet.
The good news is you can make the decision to change the way you handle your angry feelings; to consider what you say before you speak, to ask yourself how the other person will feel before you say or do x, y or z. Consider whether what you intend to say or do will be helpful and constructive to the other person and your relationship or not.
