“To silence one’s truth out of deference to another, cloaked in the guise of compassion, is a perilous dance with the shadow self. This seemingly innocuous act of self-denial can cast deep psychic wounds upon the soul. Over time, such suppression can manifest into inner conflicts that linger long after the original moment of silence. If left unmanaged, these unresolved tensions can fester, poisoning future relationships, making us hypersensitive and prone to lashing out in defence of perceived territories.”
