Another great thought provoking article … for me this resonated as it is linked to control.. jumping in and trying to resolve to control and avoid the conflict. As I’ve got older I’ve tried to take a moment and be more true to my feelings.
Thank you. I think a lot of wanting to resolve issues comes from my fear of being misunderstood too, another form of controlling the narrative. Similar to you, I find taking time before responding, if at all, helps. A good friend said to me that if it still matters after some time, respond, if not, let it go. Not easy but definitely feel more at peace.
