There's a difference between sharing your truth and using your discomfort as a reason to tear someone else down.
People are allowed to speak from their own experiences, even when those experiences don't match yours. Disagree if you want, challenge the idea if you need to. Just don't mistake personal attacks for honesty or integrity.
Sometimes our strongest reactions have more to do with what's unresolved within us than the person we're reacting to. It's easier to project our hurt onto someone else than to sit with it ourselves, but that doesn't make it right.
If expressing yourself comes at the expense of someone else's dignity, it isn't honesty. It makes you a bully.
