Talking Points
- Thank you for taking the time to talk to me about this.
- I wanted to let you know how I’m feeling. I’m hurt by what happened because <clearly articulate the MAIN point you are hurt by>
- When you <what they did/didn’t do>, it hurt my feelings.
- It made me feel really uncomfortable. It made me not feel seen or heard.
- While I know that you didn’t intentionally try to hur me, I want to be clear now and get your side of the story so that we can both feel heard.
- I’m not okay with what you did and I don’t want that in my life.
- I’m feeling disappointed and caught off guard with <the thing you’re disappointed about>. I’m hoping you can help me better understand the situation.
- I hope you can understand why I feel this way.
- I know you didn’t think it would be a big deal, but please understand that’s not how I’m feeling about it in this moment.
