As a boxer you know how to

- hold your guard
- weather any storms
- and then do something about it
(not just defensive ball mode in your shell forever)
(keep your eye for opportunity to do something in life)

This is the same in active conversations - I'm not here to hurt you, many also are not but as part of conversation / being human you will feel hurt / accidents happen / misleading words etc. This is also partly because language isn't perfect so knowing that and the other confusions are normal / natural / part of the whole ping pong to balance it not run so much. Hold your ground.

If you want to train how to hold your ground then let me know

and we can simply practice

and let any relativity come out at the same time.
