Simon Sinek Delayed Honesty

Have to save this for my own viewing. Can't find original video.

“You meet emotion with emotion. You meet rational with rational. You can’t mix the two.” Just brilliant. Thank you for sharing.

I am autistic and constantly looking for how I am supposed to behave In social situations. This is very helpful, Thank you.

These 2 minutes literally explain all huge fights I had in my ex relationship. My ex was behaving emotionally and me being autistic only spoke from a rational standpoint, thus never meeting her with emotions. I wish I saw this 6 years ago 😢

I learned to do this with members of my team when they present something they've worked on in a group setting, and whatever they did sucks or was wrong. I'll praise their efforts or their courage to present in front of everyone or the way in which it was presented. And then later, in private, I will give them the objective and constructive criticism they need to hear. Its a bit like the praise in public, reprimand in private principle that I learned as a young squad leader in the Marines. One thing I really need to make a concerted effort at is making sure that the private honest conversation happens as contemporaneously as possible. My goal is to do it the very next work day, but sometimes I fall short of that.

As someone that is learning to be honest in pursuit of truth, this is very helpful. Thanks!

This actually is a really good statement. Sometimes when emotions get in the way, especially in the moment, it's hard to be rational with someone. Despite the actions being the same, the outcome will obviously be different according to the moment and the person's state of mind

[mipe]

But it's even more difficult to NOT be instantly honest, and brace yourself the next day for that honesty, revealing that you didn't tell all the truth in the first place.

This is so powerful. Thank you. We can find something good to comment on in the moment....until sanity steps in and truth can be told.

[anonimushbosh]

I try to do this every single day and it's totally transformed my relationships. Each day I'm kind & respectful to who I'm with and then I call whoever I was with the previous day to explain why everything they were doing completely sucked. It's getting even easier with practice, although tbf that might be because having much fewer friends means I get to spend so much time on my own now.
Thanks Simon!

Technically, he was honest in the moment and was honest later. He just didn't answer his friend's question right away. He delayed properly answering it until later.

Edit: I should add that somehow the way he describes the situation happening feels wrong. So I wouldn't be reccomending dealing with things the way he did.

[matthewboyd]

I have learned from experience that this is true.

Emotions are never a time for honesty.

But there are some people who are always emotional and they never listen to reason.

This mostly applies to people that are just stubborn though.

[zoezzzarko]

You can always find something positive or something YOU LIKE ....in ANY situation 🔥

[Nthabiseng_Tsagane]

The truth behind what he said is truly huge! Most people don’t understand the concept of how to be honest with people.

[skarmale]

This is very true to the "I don't keep anything in my heart, I'm a straight forward person, will say stuff to your face". Types!!!
Like he mentioned...
There is a time & place for everything! Ppl forget that & say the most rude & meanest things they can!!!

[EdibleNonsense]

It seems odd to call someone up who invited you to a play that they acted in that obviously meant a lot to them and give them a “point by point” breakdown of why you personally didn’t like it, but ok….

Even a day or two after, it’s unnecessary. Unless the person was in charge or looking to make a profit and solicited this guy to give a professional opinion, why open your mouth and do that? Sometimes the best thing is to be grateful (complimenting the experience and the other person’s hard work is a good example, as well as being thankful they shared it with you) and then realize it’s not the time to show off or nitpick.

Beautifully and wonderfully articulate, I will have to revisit this probably several times throughout my life.

I love that he called his friend to tell her why it sucked

[Michael-fppi]

Thank you for sharing this is a great example for us all to follow.

When you see their babies, people expect you to tell them they are beautiful and...sometimes they are not. I just say something about their clothes, toy, smile etc.
