333 Me Message

All too often I forget people have their own ideas, their own life, their own … everything.

That’s when Me Messages come into play,

If you don’t like what people say to you then rather than attack or keep silent, try a Me Message:

“I feel bad /hurt about what you are saying to me now.”

And then no matter how they reply, just repeat.

“That may be so, but I just want you to know I feel hurt about what you are saying to me now.”

NOT “I don’t appreciate, I dislike, etc.”

More like “I hurt because of this.”

There is no defense when no one attacks.

And if you send a Me Message you are NOT attacking.

You are not even defending — which is a form of attack.

You simply state your feelings of hurt. Period.

Again, Too simple?

Really?

Without even trying it?
