Diagnosis

Avoidance is not kindness. It is a tax you charge the other person later, with interest. Most hard conversations are 8 minutes of discomfort you have stretched into 8 months of fog.

1. 1Write the sentence you are afraid to say. Cut the preamble. Cut the attack.
2. 2Use: fact → impact → request. One request. Not a court case.
3. 3Have it standing or walking if you spiral sitting down. Time-box to 20 minutes.

The standard: One clean conversation this week. No triangulation. No novel-length text.
