Scenario

When creative groups prioritize comfort over honest feedback

Our writing group has been meeting for two years and we've gotten so comfortable that we've stopped pushing each other and started just being nice about everything and I can feel all of our work getting softer and safer and none of us wants to be the one to say it first.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The safety that allows vulnerability has calcified into politeness that prevents growth.
