What is a word you feel that too many people use?

Actually, not words but phrases, these are two:

-I Love You.

-I’m Sorry.

I think people are saying these phrases too easily, casually, to avoid any further conflict during a conversation, to end an unpleasant discussion quickly, or to postpone crucial decisions that would lead to uncomfortable situations and life facts.

Nowadays, many people are used to saying too easy, sorry, because they don’t want to explain why they acted in the way they did. But it’s essential to outline one’s feelings so others can understand one’s behavior. If you don’t do it, the devil’s circle of misunderstandings starts working. And I think every one of us knows how this finally ends up. So, I want to underline at this point, be true to yourself and to others, don’t be ashamed of your feelings.

I love you, it has the same pattern. Many say to their partner, “I Love You” without really meaning it. They just say it, pretending to calm the other person down, to avoid any unpleasant conflict, just to stay in that routine they think is safe. In truth, they would prefer to end the relationship but are afraid of being alone and stepping out of their comfort zone. Regarding this point, I have to say, it’s not bad being alone, better being alone than with the wrong person, and pretending to have feelings which I don’t have. You not only harm yourself but also the other person.

So, all in all, be careful with your words; they not only heal but also can cause immense harm. Most importantly, stay true to yourself.
