Silence might be easier… but it’s not better

I understand not wanting to drag something out—that part is fair. But disappearing without saying anything doesn’t really solve the problem… it just shifts the discomfort onto the other person. A simple, honest sentence might feel harder in the moment, but it leaves things a lot cleaner than silence ever does.
