158 Communicating With Truth-Haters

September 19, 2026 · 13 min

Show notes

Many AuDHDers have shared stories with me about some version of the following:

There is a problem staring them in the face

People in power don't want to hear about it


This comes up a lot at work.


The more subtle version is trying to get someone to give a straight answer about exactly what needs to be done, or how. And they act like it's somehow an affront to their authority... so confusing!


If you struggle with communicating with someone who seems resistant to the truth, this episode offers the big picture understanding of what might be going on.
