Sometimes, being honest hurts people...even loved ones...

But if you keep things bottled up, you'll explode or be resentful or bitter.

Is there a formula to loving family and friends and others but still being true to yourself and being capable of self-care?

Honesty is never easy to digest in the dogmatic existential societal norms. None is interested in the causes behind the actions.
So, let there remain pure love for all that blossoms from a safe distance and keeps ALL in so called harmony.

I see I have already responded in different words though the gist is similar.
