Discuss & Social 🍷 The rejection game: white lies vs clear communication

Discussion overview: White lies, ghosting, fake excuses - modern rejection can be a minefield. Many people try polite or indirect exits to stay safe and protect everyone's feelings. But do these actually cause more harm than good? Could clear and open communication actually be more safe, respectful and constructive for everyone? We'll discuss..

1. 📱 The Polite Lie: Is indirect communication (white lies, ghosting, fake excuses, etc) a valid and effective way to reject someone - and is it safe?
2. 🎭 What Do We Owe? Do we owe someone an honest and clearer explanation? Could doing so help them move on and/or focus on other things, e.g. improve themselves?
3. 🥂 The Good Vibe: Can rejection happen without entirely dismissing someone or making the next interactions awkward?
