@chibam I hear you, communicating in writing can give us space to think and express ourselves without the pressure of other's cutting us off or judging us before we can express ourselves fully. While I personally find written communication more difficult (because I have a habit of over thinking about what I am writing! Smiley LOL), I can understand that feeling of "losing" in a spoken conversation. Communicating our feelings and thoughts in general can be really tricky.

 

Thank you for also raising the points around having conversations that might encroach on other's beliefs and feelings. It can be challenging knowing when we have the right to assert ourselves and discuss our views with people who might disagree with us or are not ready to have certain conversations. This is something we can definitely discuss in our topics about active listening and empathy Smiley Happy
