Maybe.

IMHO, “maybe” is one of the most misunderstood words we use.

Technically, “maybe” is neutral. It means there’s a possibility of either outcome. If something is truly a 50/50 chance, then hearing “maybe” should leave us equally prepared for a yes or a no.

But I’ve realized I personally don’t experience “maybe” that way.
For me, “maybe” creates hope. 😒🤔

And that’s where “maybe” can also become one of the most disappointing words.

Because once I put hope into a “maybe,” I’m no longer emotionally at 50/50. I’ve started hoping for the outcome I want. So when the “maybe” eventually becomes no, it can feel a whole lot more disappointing than if I had simply been told “no” from the beginning.

Maybe the word itself isn't the problem.

Maybe it's the hope we attach to it.
So now I’m curious…
Does the word “maybe” create the illusion of hope for anyone else?
