That’s a great question, Hillary. We actually had a similar debate with friends last week. There’s no easy answer. Always speaking your mind shows honesty and confidence, but without care, it can come across as harsh or even hurtful. On the flip side, holding back too much might keep the peace, but it can lead to suppressed emotions or even frustration and unspoken truths. It really comes down to knowing how and when to speak. The goal is to be both authentic and respectful, honest, but not unkind.
