Telling someone directly how you feel about what they did is often uncomfortable but easier on your mind and body than holding your anger and fear inside. You might say, “I would like to share something with you because I value our relationship.” Briefly describe what happened that felt hurtful or disrespectful, say, “When I was talking, you (said or did this).” Say how their behavior made you feel—the impact, cleanly say that it felt like what you had to say was not valuable. You feel angry, frustrated, hurt, scared, or you just give up when this happens. Use “I” statements, don’t blame them for not caring or judge them for being insensitive. Ask for what you need going forward, what would you like them to do instead of what happened, again, be specific. End by reinforcing why you are making this request, tell them again why your relationship is important to them.
