> Keeping in mind that the idea here is support and not posting anything that could lead others to feel accused or put down, would you please rephrase the above to reflect your feeling as an "I" statement?Hi Alesta - I'm sorry. I don't understand.
To me "I found it maddening" IS an "I" statement.
So - in order to "reflect your feeling" - and just to clarify (I'm not trying to be difficult), would one say "I felt mad"
or "when I read that I felt mad"
or "I felt mad when I read that" ?
Thx for clarifying & sorry if I'm dense.
I'd like to say, & I hope this is OK:
After I read that initial post, I felt really upset about some of the things that were said. To me they seemed insulting & not kind. ? Is that an OK way to word it?
Thx Kath
