Pause for Clarity: Weighing the Impact of Our Words
In every dynamic interpersonal communication, there comes a moment when words can either ignite conflict or reinforce mutual understanding. It is precisely at such times that the ability to pause and carefully weigh the potential consequences of a statement becomes crucial. Above all, it is important to stop and consider exactly what you want to say and whether this will achieve the desired effect. If you feel uncertainty or have doubts about whether your words will be beneficial, it is better to delay your comment until emotions have calmed. This approach helps prevent potential negative repercussions, allowing you later to objectively assess whether your intervention caused any harm.
