"Soft Langugage"

Somewhere along the line, we became more comfortable with gentle lies than harsh truths.

[@breakthroughmoment1647]

Narcissists use brutal honesty where it’s not necessary (gratuitous overkill), but if you speak one ounce of truth to them in a quiet, soft-spoken way, they lose their minds.

[@awesome9481]

Yes. This was the point I was trying to put into words in my comment. They use *selective* honesty and then brutalize others with their words, they will even use your goodwill as a sign of being untrustworthy. Its absolutely sick, depresses me.

[@breakthroughmoment1647]

Awesome SO true!

This reminds me of "You get a car! You get a car!" Or "everyone gets a PRIZE!" Is it any wonder, this society has become full of it.

This was exhilarating to watch and learn about

[@notagain779]

A woman at work wanted to steer my career into a new field when we knew our jobs would be made obsolete. This was a position that would benefit her needs, not something I was at all interested in. I told her I wasn't interested, and added, "I don't have any training or credentials for that anyway." Her answer was that I could "cleverly word" a set of credentials. I said, "You mean lie?" And she said, "Well, no....just cleverly word it so that it sounds plausible." I answered, "So, you mean, just LIE." She didn't answer, and we eventually went our separate ways!

You've got to be cruel to be kind, sometimes.

[@marmadukescarlet7791]

Can we talk about all the euphemisms for violence and abuse too?

[@Corinna_Schuett_GER]

Plain TRUTH was what got Jesus Christ on the Cross 2,000 years ago. This has never changed. People HATE the truth. They hate God. 🙏

[@theveganvillainess]

Oh yeah the company lingo is very annoying, it's like you need an interpret to make out what they are saying half the time.

[@matthewgerome7418]

Well said! I have the same trouble.it is good to hear there are a few people who see through the b.s. That's what it used to be called B.S.! You have a very beautiful voice. Thank you

[@awesome9481]

II think some of them often like to hide behind the pretension of honesty in order to be cruel. I think perhaps it depends on the motivation, and with narcissist the motivation is never to your benefit, it isn't benevolent. We have companies that tell you that they have all the answers and that we have to be "bold" in life, just to swindle people into a quick reaction. In other words, I think theres a way to be honest and open without being cruel, and I think that is a concept that is completely foreign to them. I hope that's understandable.

[@elviraarriaga1424]

Thankful for Your Videos and comment section below. Because something fishy is going on around me and i'm tired of watching other people & myself be targeted and watched & tested & bullied by all sorts of haters gangstalkers handlers! I'm staying stoic to myself because of stress

[@catwalkster]

This is mainly a USA problem. I'm Dutch. Were very different. The rest of the planet thinks we are: rude, blunt, direct, arrogant, stoic, unfriendly , offending etc. And we are known for the worst customer service too. I didnt realise how big the difference was until I got a USA boyfriend and a lot of usa acquaintances. When interacting with them everybody was ( still is )always super shocked and offended by me. Even when I'm being super nice. 🤣 I finally looked it up if there was a cultural difference and learned how the rest of the world sees us the Dutch. Haha We cannot handle fakeness, beating around the bush and people that get offended by WORDS ..🙄 USA is VERY political correct.

[@spectacularrichbeautybrilli]

Hahaha! I've seen theis Carlin skit years ago. Makes you wonder what his punch lines would be today. He was definitely "woke." Ok, I gotta go to this "soft language" Q & A briefing that starts in 5 minutes. Good timing as always PTE! 🥰

[@trailblazor9547]

Yes we want the truth. But can we handle the truth? The absolute and nothing but - the things that need to come into the light before a change can happen.

[@Corinna_Schuett_GER]

If you cannot handle the truth you don't really want it either.

[@Red_Tiger_Eye]

C’mon PTE . . . Go LIVE‼️‼️‼️‼️

[@teachersusanute199]

I teach Business English in German companies. Germans and Scandinavians have a very direct manner of speaking. The languages are factual. My business people hate the „sugar coating beating around the bushes language“ of Americans. You need a very good level of English proficiency to get the idioms, euphemisms and „jokes“. 🙄

[@Corinna_Schuett_GER]

I am German and I do agree. I probably couldn't have EVER lived in the U.S. because I do naturally hate hypocrisy and bigotry in Germany already very much. There's in fact NOTHING that makes me envy Americans for (except perhaps their nice wooden front door porches and swing chairs but then the isolation of the house is still pathetic). 😊😅

[@PermissionToExist]

Very interesting perspective I’d like to learn more about! I had no idea the sugar-coating was noticeable by individuals in other cultures, and no idea it drove them crazy 😂

[@teachersusanute199]

Permission To Exist yes, I‘ve got quite a few friends from the US and Britain who live here in Germany. When they first came they found German directness rude. They all speak perfect German now and have come to appreciate the ease of direct communication. Now when they talk with relatives in Britain/the US the relatives complain that they have become rude🙄😳🤣🙄🙄. I think it‘s a lot of fun. Languages. When I was a student in the US I found the „always be happy never be negative“ attitude quite tiring and insincere. I prefer directness - say what you mean and what you want. With a smile 😁

[@Corinna_Schuett_GER]

@@PermissionToExist What I have (generally spoken) learned from diverse American Christian YTC is how most commenteers very often feel offended if I lack of certain 'politeness rituals' in soft language when calling a spade a spade as I'm normally used to. I have also learned that many true Christian brethren have a severe problem with discernment of (scriptural) truth. You might call it 'cognitive dissonance' quite often how they deal with it. I assume this is because they grew up in this 'soft language bubble' all of their life and never got outside to look onto their own hypocrisy to discern. I guess if you're surrounded by and accustomed to soft lies all the time you completely lose discernment of true and false. This might be a problem of American society in general as this 'bubble' goes across the whole continent and most never leave the country because it is so huge. In Europe there's much more diversity of nationalities and mentalities and Germans are right in the middle of all of them and traveling is easy. So learning discernment in Europe is not that big of a deal even if euphemisms and 1984-language propaganda have also increased. There are quite a few fellow U.S. 'truthers' though and to be fair I owe them for their brilliant research and information on many topics. Yet these communication differences are very real.

[@fuzbugg]

I think this has a lot to do with the fact that the early days of America included a lot of cult leaders basically.... we are a cultish culture

Wow, so True. I get myself in trouble too. I've come to learn that I could be dealing with a psychopath / : & watchout because if they can't handle truth they'll vandalize your car!! Insanity has officially struck.

[@tamars_hope]

It’s ironic how your voice feels like a type of soft language. 😳

[@PermissionToExist]

Christine P I know right. Maybe this is why they are so caught off-guard by what this soft voice is saying 🤣

[@tamars_hope]

Permission To Exist I think most people can discern past the false veneer and of what a person is saying and pick up on the energy that is behind the words. It’s called intuition. Energy never lies!

[@spectacularrichbeautybrilli]

@@tamars_hope Ha! Seriously, this makes me think of a covert narc-worker that likes to appear as meek, mild, and kind...soft spoken and silent at times but i see her evil loud and clear through her actions, willful contradictions and the context of her spoken words. My narc-worker doesn't have me fooled but partially entertained at times. 😁

[@notagain779]

@@PermissionToExist, It reminds me of the actress Betty White sweetly saying shocking things with that adorable little smile of hers.

Right. I hate fluff talk. Give me the truth and don't take to long.

It's amazing how insightful George Carlin was. So many things he said are now reality.

[@mak7eye]

You do have a soft voice but I think it will maintain a good environment around you if you keep it like how you come across in your videos

as a young mother i read a set of books i found at the good will . set of 1928 charles spurgeons sermons and expositories. he sure dealt it out in a remarkable way. thank you

Being honest with yourself is the most important step toward happiness and understanding. Be honest with discretion toward others, but always be honest with yourself. You deserve that.
