lately whenever someone comes at me sideways online, or more often, when i see a public post or exchange that denigrates me or my interests, and that shit starts to make me seethe, i take a deep angry breath and painstakingly remind myself that "every criticism, judgment, diagnosis, and expression of anger is a tragic expression or an unmet need" (ty marshall rosenberg).

then i look at my little list of universal human needs and imagine how the interlocutor in question might be speaking from a place of one of those unmet needs until i calm down

works pretty well so far

I'd like to suggest the works of Marshall Rosenberg on Non-Violent communication. His work on human nature and ways of approaching conflict resolution is revolutionary. That word has lost a lot of it's impact, so I'll say this: learning about how NVC would have people think about each other was a more radical change in my understanding than becoming a prison abolitionist.

Feel free to dm if you have questions or want more information.

Ooo thank you for the recommendation! I'll add him to my reading list :)

“According to Marshall Rosenberg, "no conflict exists at the level of human needs" because all humans share the same fundamental needs, and conflict only arises when people clash over the different strategies they use to meet those needs.”

"All violence is the result of people tricking themselves into believing that their pain derives from other people and that consequently those people deserve to be punished." Marshall Rosenberg

The late Marshall Rosenberg, famous for creating and training people in “nonviolent communication,” was a master negotiator, dispatched to save crumbling marriages and flailing peace deals. He spent a lot of time working with parties in high-conflict situations, helping each side state their needs. The goal of resolution is not compromise, per Rosenberg, it’s satisfaction, which requires feeling heard. Not listened to, but heard.
