When two people are arguing or having a misunderstanding, 'clearing the air' means having an honest discussion about feelings in order to move past the conflict.
Person A: "I think we need to clear the air after what happened the other day."
Person B: "Alright. What do you want to say?"
Person A: "The other day when you said what you said, it really hurt me."
Person B: "I only said that because you hurt me by saying what you said."
Person A: "Oh I see. Well, I'm sorry I said that. I didn't mean anything bad by it."
Person B: "That's okay. I'm sorry too."
GF: We started dating, like, a year after you broke up.
Guy: Yeah, but that doesn't matter with her.
Guy: She's got a crazy streak, and this is bound to set her off.
Guy: What if she hurts me physically?
Guy: What if she hurts me with words?
churchhurt is where you experience a degree of distance, pain, or judgement from your church community. Essentially, you are just unable to “find your place”. This is prevalent in the Christian community, but can be extended to other religions.
