"You sat in your silence instead of filling it with noise. That was brave." "You admitted you're scared. Most people pretend they're not."
In an age of curated social media feeds, performative politeness, and the exhausting dance of "doing well, thanks, and you?", a peculiar ritual is emerging in living rooms, retreat centers, and even corporate boardrooms.
