Learn to articulate how you’re feeling without accusing anyone of having bad intentions. You can say “I’m afraid of being alone” without saying “you’re just going to leave me like everyone else.” You can say “I need some reassurance” without saying “you probably don’t love me anymore.” You can say “I’m afraid I’ve hurt your feelings and I’d like to talk it through” without saying “you don’t even like me anymore.” You can say “I want to spend more time with you” without saying “you’ve gotten tired of me.” You can say “I feel misunderstood” without saying “you always judge me.” Try not to let your emotions get the best of you. Have a conversation focused on finding solutions instead of escalating the conflict.
