The best way to reduce internal friction is not to preset assumptions. I don't preset whether the other person likes me or not, I don't preset whether this sentence has hidden meanings. I only communicate naturally with the other person. If any problems arise, I communicate frankly, focusing on the matter at hand. There's no need to worry whether the other person will develop biases because of my questions. Not fearing frank communication is a filtering process. If you are honest, then naturally only honest people will stay. When thoughts are simple, people become simple. When people are simple, they can embrace happiness.
