If you only ever use “I’m just telling them what they need to hear” to mean negative or hurtful things, give that some thought. Sometimes what people need to hear, and I mean need not want, is encouragement. Sometimes they need to hear that you believe in them, that you’re proud of them, that they tried their best.
The next time you want to tell someone what they “need” to hear, consider if maybe there isn’t something else they need to hear too.
