I had a past manager that said “seek to understand” and what that means is if someone is letting you down, not meeting expectations etc. don’t jump to the conclusion that they don’t care, they aren’t trying etc seek to understand, ask questions because it could be an outside factor that is affecting them. Grief, depression, a divorce, all sorts of possibilities and they just need your support and understanding. Another thing I learned from therapy is personalization, it’s assuming that it has something to do with you, when really it could have nothing to do with you at all.

Replacing ‘they should know’ with an actual conversation changes SO much. 👏

I think we assume people know and we have to actually speak it.

I honestly think the word “should” is one of the most irritating words when it’s constantly coming from someone else. You should help me. You should do this. You should buy me that. You should do it this way.
The more someone tells me what I should do, the more I think, “Should I really?” 😂
You can suggest something, share your opinion, or tell me what worked for you. But I’m still going to decide what makes sense for me.
Nobody likes feeling like someone else is running their life. And that goes for both women and men.

I don’t think somebody should… I say things with real clear words and even with a big big sentence. And everyone understand and if they don’t I write a book for that, really 😁

Also makes you somewhat entitled in my opinion. Nobody owes you anything especially if you’re making up assumptions and not communicating. Not everyone is on your level.
