Sometimes the smartest thing you can do is not answer right away.
Giving yourself a pause before responding to important questions lets your mind shift from quick emotions to clear thinking. That little silence can save you from regret and lead to wiser answers. #nostr #psychology

Indeed this has always been my moto, yet I missed doing it a couple of times in the past year and there was regret 🫂
i do this.
however, this was also an excuse i used to tell myself as i would emotionally withdraw. "i don't want to say anything hurtful, so i won't say anything at all."
i lacked the vocabulary and the emotional maturity to say:
"i am upset. i am hurt. please know that i love You, but give me space and time."
sometimes it's not the things we say, but the things we don't say.
