I dislike the "So in other words you mean that " technique used in a conversation. Especially if it’s not in a form of a question but rather a statement.
“What do you mean by that?”
“Do you mean that ?”
A nicer way to put it, in my opinion 🤗 Takes more of the blaming out of the reply, keeping it a bit more neutral ❤
.
Don’t get me wrong - sometimes it is needed to assess negative things people do.
But it can be done in a more polite way.
No need to be more harsh than what a situation/conversation really needs.
