Speaking Truth is NOT Shaming

When you call someone out on bad behavior, that is not shaming them. Do not let them make you feel bad for speaking the truth to their ears.

When you point out bad behavior to another person, you are making them face the truth of their actions and words.

If they feel ashamed, good! That means they recognize the truth, can learn from it, and grow. If they refuse to acknowledge their wrong doing, they will not learn from it or grow into a better person.

No one is perfect. Acknowledge, learn, and grow.
