When we feel hurt, it’s tempting to shut down or lash out. But that won’t solve the problem, or even make it clear to those who've hurt us why we're upset. Here’s what will.
When people feel hurt, they often respond in understandable but counterproductive ways, such as becoming angry or withdrawn.
Expressing one's feelings, not immediately blaming the other person, and offering a potential solution are valuable communication skills.When someone feels hurt, they usually do one of two things—withdraw or lash out. Both of these strategies are self-protective, but neither of them is an effective way to communicate or get your needs met.
To be fair, most people jump to this conclusion, because in the past they've experienced trying to express how they feel, and it didn’t turn out well. But when you imagine something going badly, you prepare for it to go badly. When people expect a fight, they often avoid expressing negative emotions, which can create a sense of awkward distance between two people, or they wait until they are so upset that they can’t hold them in any longer.
While expressing your emotions is critical to good communication, following it up with what the other person did wrong will immediately put the other person on the defensive and result in them being less able to hear what you are saying.
