Psychology suggests the deepest sign someone actually respects you isn't how they treat you when things are good - it's whether they tell you the truth when the truth is uncomfortable, because most people will choose your comfort over your growth every single time to protect the relationship, and the person who risks your temporary anger to offer you something honest has decided that who you're becoming matters more to them than how you feel about them today - Silicon Canals

Honesty that prioritizes growth over comfort is a profound act of love often avoided in relationships.
