It makes them understand that what all came before it is just not genuine. It's not true. It was just fluff because now you're about to deliver the news you really wanted to do.

This isn't going to be fun to talk about.

For me, in my world, in my team, anybody law firm related otherwise, when they have to deliver bad news, what I ask is they say, you're not going to like this. First thing in the phone call, they say, you're not going to like this. And it allows me to go, okay, I'm ready. And like mentally, I'm kind of preparing myself to go, okay, all right, let's hear it.

You hear how small talk is not kind.

Being unclear is not kind, even though it tries to make yourself feel better. Label the conversation. You get to sit with them, let's say in a romantic setting. You need to break up with somebody. It can be as easy as, this isn't going to be a fun conversation. Or if it's totally catching them off guard, you can even say, this is probably going to catch you off guard.
