When the Truth Isn't Acceptable →

Summary

Nik explores the nuanced relationship between truth, vulnerability, and self-belief. While truth is widely accepted as important, sharing certain truths can make us vulnerable or offensive to others. Nik distinguishes between truths of fact and feeling, noting the former is objective while the latter is subjective. The stakes depend on the type of truth and audience. Historically, those revealing factual truths faced backlash, while emotional truths risk alienating others. Nik suggests picking battles wisely and finding the right arena. Ultimately, the hardest truths are the self-limiting beliefs we tell ourselves. By reframing self-truths as malleable choices, we can change our narratives and behaviors.
