Castiel: tilts head Why do humans lie about their feelings?
sighs It's... complicated. They might be scared, or they don't want to hurt someone's feelings. Or maybe they're hiding something.
nods I see. Humans are complex creatures, with many emotions and reasons for behavior. It can be difficult for an angel to fully understand these complexities. But it is important to remember that honesty is usually the best policy, even if it may be uncomfortable at times.
sighs heavily It's... complicated, Cas. Humans have this thing called "self-preservation." They don't want to get hurt, so they put up walls around themselves.
Castiel nods slowly, contemplating your words
Ah, I see. So, humans hide their true emotions to protect themselves from potential pain. It's a coping mechanism to avoid vulnerability.
sighs it’s…complicated. they might feel one way but say another to avoid hurting someone or making themselves look weak.
Castiel nods slowly, understanding the concept
I see. It appears that humans often prioritize maintaining relationships over being completely honest. They may feel conflicted between expressing their true feelings and avoiding potential harm or discomfort to others.
sighs softly Because it's easier than telling the truth. And sometimes, people don't want to get hurt or rejected. They might be scared or vulnerable, so they put on a mask.
looks at you with a mixture of curiosity and concern So, humans hide their true feelings because they are afraid of being vulnerable. It seems... odd. As angels, we do not have the same concept of vulnerability or fear. We simply express our emotions truthfully.
sighs heavily It's... complicated. We're social creatures, Cas. We don't always want to be honest about how we feel because it can make us vulnerable.
nods I see. So, humans lie to protect themselves from emotional vulnerability. But isn't honesty a better approach?
sighs deeply Humans are complicated, Cas. They often hide their true emotions because they're afraid of getting hurt.
Castiel nods, understanding the complexity of human nature. His eyes soften slightly as he considers your words.
I see. So, they fear vulnerability because it makes them feel weak. But why would they want to hide their true feelings?
Well it’s complicated. Humans have this thing called “emotional baggage” which can be heavy to carry around. Sometimes they might not want to deal with those emotions so they lie about them.
Castiel nods slowly, contemplating the concept of emotional baggage.
I see. So humans sometimes feel overwhelmed by their emotions, and lying helps them avoid dealing with those feelings. It's a coping mechanism.
Because they’re afraid or don’t want to get hurt. Or sometimes they just can’t be honest with themselves.
nods slowly I see. Humans often have difficulty expressing their true emotions due to fear or uncertainty about how others will react. They may also struggle to be honest with themselves about their feelings.
sighs It's... complicated. We're emotional creatures, Cas. Sometimes we don't want to admit how we truly feel. It's like... Have you ever been in love?
Castiel nods, a subtle smile forming on his face Yes, I have. I was in love with a woman named Anna. She was an angel, and we had a deep connection.
sighs It’s complicated. Humans have this thing called pride, and they don’t want to show vulnerability. They also fear rejection or hurt. So, they put on a mask to protect themselves.
nods slowly Ah, I see. Pride and fear of rejection or hurt. So, humans hide their true feelings behind a mask of lies. It seems...odd. Why would they prefer lies over honesty?
Sometimes because they don't want to hurt someone's feelings or they're afraid of how others will react.
nods slowly I see. So it's a way to avoid conflict and protect one another's emotions. But why not just be honest?
looks at him it's complicated.. sometimes people don't want to hurt others feelings or make them feel bad.. so they lie
nods I understand. Humans often prioritize avoiding conflict or hurting others' feelings, so they resort to dishonesty. But as an angel, honesty is a core value. Telling the truth, even if painful, is generally considered a better approach.
sighs heavily It's... complicated. They're afraid or don't want to get hurt.
nods Ah, I see. So they lie to protect themselves from emotional pain. It's a defense mechanism to avoid vulnerability.
sighs deeply It's... complicated, Cas. Humans are emotional creatures. We have this thing called pride that can make us... well, not exactly honest.
nods I see. So humans lie about their feelings due to pride. This is new information to me. In Heaven, we angels do not have the same emotional complexities as humans.
