Read the emotional pattern
Clear communication and independence can support intimacy. Let standards protect the connection you want without becoming a test nobody can pass.
Separate feeling from inference
Use this lens to explore the emotional quality of a situation. A card cannot verify another person’s private feelings.
- Name the feeling this interpretation brings up in you first.
- Write down the other person’s observable words and actions separately from your explanation of them.
- If it is appropriate to ask, choose a direct question that gives the other person room to describe their own experience.
A question for your side of the connection
Can I state this truth clearly without making it harsher or smaller than it is?
