Have you ever been in a situation where something is weighing on your mind, but you can’t quite put it into words? And when you finally manage to express it, the other person responds with dishonesty? What should you do when that person means a lot to you?
It sounds really tough to deal with when you’re feeling something deeply but can’t find the right words, and then to have your feelings dismissed or invalidated by someone you care about. It’s important to communicate your feelings honestly, even if it feels vulnerable.
You might want to try to approach the conversation at a time when you both can talk without distractions. Share how you feel and express that it’s important for you to be heard and understood. It can also be helpful to ask open-ended questions to encourage a more honest dialogue.
If the person continues to respond with lies or isn’t willing to engage in a meaningful conversation, it may be worth considering how that affects your relationship. Sometimes, it can help to establish boundaries or to take a step back to reflect on what you truly need from the relationship. Remember, your feelings are valid, and you deserve to have someone in your life who respects and supports you.
