Imagine that you have to tell someone an unpleasant truth. What will you do first?

Select an answer:

I will consider whether that person even needs to know it. I am trying to find the gentlest way to say it. I am considering the impact on our relationship, but I will tell the truth. First, I will write it down and wait to see if I still feel the same way. I'll say it directly – why hesitate with something that is important?

Someone tells you, "We need to talk." What is the first thing that crosses your mind?

Select an answer:

Problem. I'm sure I messed something up. Okay, I'm curious about what it's all about. I feel slight tension, but also curiosity. I would rather know in advance what it is about. Great. Maybe this is finally the conversation we needed.

When someone does not respond honestly but "strategically," what do you think of them?

Select an answer:

I understand him, the world is not simple. It depends on why he/she is doing it. I can't completely trust him. He is probably afraid, maybe someone taught him that. I don't like that – honesty is fundamental.

If someone asked you a question that really gets under your skin, how would you react?

Select an answer:

I will respond, but only after a while. I'm going to joke – first, I need some time. I will tell the truth, even if it won't be pleasant. It depends on who is asking. I will first try to understand what they are aiming for.

What conversation would you prefer to never have to have?

Select an answer:

About the fact that I have to disappoint someone. About one's own insecurity. With someone I have hurt. About the feeling that I'm in the wrong place. With someone I no longer love.

What most often prevents you from starting an important conversation?

Select an answer:

Fear of what will happen next. I can't find the right moment. I don't think it's that important. I don't want to hurt anyone. I doubt that the other one will understand me.

What do you do when someone starts crying during a conversation?

Select an answer:

I'll be silent and give him space. I feel responsible – what did I say wrong? I am trying to be supportive, not to judge. I will take the initiative and soften the tone. I'll say something human, maybe a bit humorous.

When was the last time you said something that changed a relationship?

Select an answer:

When I admitted something. When I sincerely stood up for someone. When I named something that had been hanging in the air for a long time. When I said "I'm sorry." When I made it clear to someone that I care about them.

What does it really mean to you to "talk" to someone?

Select an answer:

Remove masks. Listening without the need to respond immediately. To be willing to show vulnerability. Allow oneself to disagree and stay connected. To feel that the other truly hears me.

Who would you have (or want to) a conversation with that hasn't taken place yet?

Select an answer:

With someone from the family. By myself. With a friend that I lost. With a person to whom I couldn't say "thank you." With someone I have never told the truth.
