increasingly I can really instinctually feel what it's like when I say words, and my body doesn't believe it. things like: "oh, I really understand" or "that sounds difficult".
I think it, but my body isn't fully attuned to what I'm saying
are the words still worth saying?

you can always look for more accurate words!

haha - this is a good point. but is accuracy the goal? like, what if I have to say "my condolences" but I actually don't feel anything?
these days I am wondering how to gauge honesty vs. politeness

you can try to look for something that’s both accurate and polite, that could be easier or harder depending on the situation. also i feel like condolences specifically are less about describing a ground truth about your true feelings and more about declaring an intent?
