There is a huge gap between someone wanting to understand you better and you having to justify yourself pointlessly. Someone things need to be accepted for what they are. There shouldn’t be a trail of reasoning tagging them nor a logic validating their existence. Many years ago, when I made this list for myself, it truly empowered me in conversations I felt cornered in.

I am sure there are many more things to add to this list. Feel free to add your one thing in the comments~
