Avoiding Passive Aggression
Passive aggression in relationships often leads to escalation in arguments, hurtful things being said, and a breakdown in communication. Instead of using passive-aggressive behavior, it is more effective to bring a different tone to the argument. Small acts of peace, like reaching out and stroking someone's finger, can create a de-escalation and allow for a more genuine conversation. By revealing vulnerabilities and communicating wounds, a deeper connection can be formed in a relationship.
Building Trust Through Vulnerability
Being vulnerable and revealing wounds is essential for building trust and creating a strong relationship. While it may be scary to open up and show insecurities, it is important to recognize that a great relationship is one where someone can hold space for these vulnerabilities. In a healthy relationship, the partner will support and encourage personal growth, without using wounds against each other. By allowing oneself to be vulnerable, it becomes possible to build an amazing relationship based on trust and understanding.
