I think the concept of collaborating and improving social skills with assertive/mindful communication is so important because ones language matters. It has a huge impact on ones relationships.
I really like the idea of “I” statements to help change out accusing language for assertive language.
I recently changed “can you stop being so annoyingly loud” to “I have a hard time concentrating when there’s loud noises”. It felt a lot less combative and felt like it was better received.
Has anyone else tried using “I” statements to help change out accusing language for assertive language? How did it work out for you?
