Why progress feels safer to you than presence
Your system reads traction as safety. When something stalls — a conversation, a project, a relationship — the body interprets it as risk, not pause. So you push.
The cost is rarely visible to you in the moment. It shows up later, in the people who quietly stop bringing you the messy half-formed ideas — because they've learned you'll move before they finish.
Practical move
In your next stalled moment, ask: "Is this actually stuck — or am I just uncomfortable that it's slow?"
