About the event

Discussion overview: White lies, ghosting, fake excuses - modern rejection is a minefield. We often use (or hear) polite exits as a way to protect people's feelings and the rejecter's own comfort. But are these actually doing more harm than good? Could clear communication be more constructive and respectful? We'll discuss..

1. 📱 The Polite Lie: Are fake excuses a valid way to stay safe and protect people's feelings?
2. 🎭 What Do We Owe? Do we owe someone an honest explanation so they can actually move on?
3. 🥂 The Next Encounter: How do you say "I'm not interested" without ruining the vibe next time?

Join us for a relaxed group conversation where we explore real life, grey areas, and how our different cultures and backgrounds shape our views about key topics. Expect real talk, no judgment, and a chance to learn how others see it.

*Come for the discussion, stay for the friendships. Our weekly discussion series brings together thoughtful people for honest conversations on relationships, life, and society - with warm social vibes before and after.*
WHAT TO EXPECT:

Good vibes only: we chat big topics in a chill, respectful way. No arguing - just open-minded exchange. We warm up with casual socializing (come solo or with friends!)
The topic starts around 7:45/8pm, wraps around 9:30. 🍕 There's pizza, drinks, milkshakes and snacks available at the bar (incl plant-based options)

  • And most people stay until late for drinks and mingling!

DISCUSSION FORMAT:
- Our group conversations are open and flexible! There is a very soft guided flow to ensure we focus on the key questions, and to ensure that everyone gets a balanced opportunity to speak.
- We rotate groups intentionally during the discussion so everyone gets to meet a wider mix of people and perspectives.
- After the structured part, you’re free to mix and mingle with anyone.

**Here's a typical discussion flow, but we may adjust this depending on the tu
