Hey Amy. I really love the information on this article, but I have to disagree with this one. It is about me as well.

It all depends on how this information is provided, but I really believe in the importance of sharing our own feelings in situations like this one. It creates more empathy and understanding, and consequently a stronger connection between everyone involved.

Of course, it has to be done authentically, not with the intention of victimizing ourselves or manipulating the other person. It has to come from a place of vulnerability, of a real desire to share what is alive within us.

For example: “When I said this to you yesterday I was feeling angry and reacted to the impulse to attack you verbally. Now I feel regret, pain, and a desire to reconnect with you, and that is why I am sharing this with you”.

I hope you can find this useful. Thank you for your ideas, Amy. Keep up the good work!
