“There is never any food around here”
Don’t reply with:
X “ You are so rude”
X “ I spend ____ on grocery”
X “ What are you talking about ..”
Why?
Meeting criticism with defensiveness never works. It enters into defense cycle.
Say this:
I hear you need help figuring out what to eat for lunch
Because
Behind the frustration, it is - Want, need, fear or combo of some of the emotions
