Amber Hollingsworth advises practicing humility in conversations by admitting your own flaws—ideally with specific, genuine examples. She recommends saying explicit statements like “I’m not perfect” or naming particular problematic behaviors you bring to the dynamic, and sharing that you’ve made the same mistake before to help the other person feel heard and safer.

Humble yourself into the conversation, admit your own flaws. And the more specific you can be about it, the better, because the more specific you can be about it, the more genuine it sounds. Okay to say I'm not perfect either. I think that's good. Like that works. But it works better if you can say specifically what you know you bring into the dynamic that's problematic for that person. That's really going to make them feel heard. Or like I said before, if you say, hey, I made that same mistake before I did that, I still do that. Then again, it's going to make the person feel safer.
