I know some people for many years and never had fight, while some people for few months had many fights and survived thanks to [[Rationality|rationality]]. The fact is that when you have a strong need, e.g. build a start-up, you will want to force [[Having difficult conversation]] and fixing issues as you go, so you get faster into shocks than in typical relationships. Then, I think I'm more likely to engage in difficult conversations with friends outside of [[Business 🔨]] now, probably something I learned with the start-up environment, yet another great learning that generalise to other areas of life.
