Communication

“I told my mom I was fine when she called and now I feel guilty for lying but also relieved I didn't have to explain anything.”

“I think I've been mentally checked out of this relationship for months but I don't know how to start that conversation.”

“I practiced the conversation in my head so many times that when it actually happened I couldn't say any of it.”

“She remembered my birthday and I forgot hers last month and I've been overcompensating in small ways ever since without saying anything.”

“I called my best friend and got her voicemail and hung up without leaving a message because I didn't know how to begin.”

“I told my partner I wasn't upset and then gave very short answers for the rest of the night without acknowledging the contradiction.”

“I sent the email and immediately wanted to take it back for a reason I can't fully articulate.”

“I told her the presentation was great and I meant it but now I keep wondering if I was too enthusiastic and came across as fake.”

“I wanted to tell him I missed him but I sent a meme instead.”
