I’m not sure which I dread the most:-

“We need to talk”

Or, possibly

“There’s something I need to tell you”

Would it not just be better

If we didn’t talk

Didn’t have that conversation

Just let it quietly slide on by

Would it matter all that much

If you didn’t tell me,

You kept it to yourself

Just left me to carry on, problem free...

Tolerance?  No.  Couldn’t bear that.

Empathy?  Well, I suppose I could be persuaded.

Sympathy?  Yes of course.  There, There.

Obedience?  Me? You’ve got to be kidding.

Sarcasm?  Yeah, Right.

Egotism?  Yes, I know I can pull that one off.

Modesty?  Me? Surely not? No...
