Sometimes, in an attempt to connect, people unintentionally step on emotional landmines. They might ask questions we are not ready to answer, not out of harm, but simply as part of trying to hold a conversation.
In those moments, we have a choice. We can either take offense or we can gently say, “I am not ready to talk about that.”
People connect in different ways. Some dive into personal topics, others prefer to stick to work, hobbies, or lighthearted chat. It often reflects how we were raised and how we move through the world.
The important thing is, we do not have to feel forced to answer. And we do not need to walk on eggshells, afraid we will step on someone else’s landmine. When communication is open, people will let us know what feels okay and what does not. And we can do the same.
That is how mutual care works. We can all feel safe, loved, and respected when we honour boundaries and speak from the heart. When we choose openness with kindness, even boundaries feel warm. That is when relationships feel truly comfortable, because they are rooted in trust.
