> BobYeah. It is. Sorry to belabour it. I'm just using this as an example about practicing I-statments - I'm not saying I feel this way. I hope you don't mind me using this as an example. I'm trying to see if there would have been an okay way to say it.
(I've felt frustrated many times, because to me, there seems to have been so little understanding of how important privacy is for us.)
So how about this:
"I've felt frustrated many times. Privacy is really important to me & I feel like that hasn't been understood."
See. I think it still wouldn't be okay. What do you think?
