BluePeach trying to model better communication: Captains Log 1
This is gonna be my little series of me ranting and info dumping for myself. I’m working on modeling healthy behaviors, coping skills, communication, boundaries and I want to document all the tiny progress markers I make. 😊
I wrote it with this thought in my head
——ONTO THE SUBJECT——
If you cannot talk to me like an adult, you’re going to be treated like a child
Bible says in Eph 6:2 to “Honor your father and your mother”
And to honor is showing respect
But if you cannot express (with your words) to me how you need to be respected, then I’m going to disengage conversation with you if you cannot engage in basic respect in conversation.
My rules of conversation:
Terms of Agreement:
Following the Rules are to be expected for strangers, following the “Neutral” package 📦 that comes from basic human civility when encountering a stranger.
If someone breaks the Rules, one warning ⚠️ and a cool off period is required.
If this behavior continues with a person of close intimacy or close proximity, ie. romantic, platonic, and/or familial relation, then they will be notified that they have been downgraded to the “Bare minimum” package 📦 where you will only receive the bare minimum of interaction, and the plaintiff can decide to cut conversation, interaction, or even relationship [TLDR: you’re on thin ice to being NC or NO CONTACT]
1. No interrupting
2. No disrespectful speech
3. No dismissive language
And by “treating like a child” I mean, saying this as simply as I can and by implementing Gentle Parenting techniques to parent MY OWN parent
My goal will be to sound like this during a meltdown:
