Hiding thoughts
Getting away from the world at the first sign of danger can give temporary peace of mind. You’ve avoided conflict, so that’s a win in most people’s eyes.
Except you haven’t avoided anything.
Hiding thoughts only delay the inevitable. Either the conflict resurfaces with that person later or one arises in one’s self.
Talking through your issues,with tact upfront, avoids that feeling.
Honesty is the best policy.
