Dishonesty in relationships
When we don’t give ourselves what we need or when we’ve built a life around not fully acknowledging what’s really going on inside of us, what ends up happening is we have two people who are being inauthentic about themselves, trying to build a relationship with each other.
And if they can’t be authentic with themselves, there’s a dance going on in the relationship where they’re not really bringing their full selves forward.
I want to say this with a lot of empathy, because I think this is such a huge struggle that we all have. This isn’t about shame. It makes sense that we get here.
But as soon as either one — or both — of them can own the fact that: oh my goodness, I haven’t been honest with myself about what I really need, what I’m really feeling, what I’m really experiencing inside — that dance starts to shift, and that can be really uncomfortable as it brings up a lot of what has been under the surface.
Truth-telling has so many ramifications. The process to get there is scary, and so I really understand why we hold back. But what comes out the other side is a relationship that’s more real. More honest. Because now both people are actually showing up as themselves.
