    I feel wrong?

    Is Wrong a Feeling?

    I'd like to make a distinction between thoughts and feelings.  I was just having one of those philosophical and heated arguments with someone. 

    It has long been a practice for me to state the behavior followed by the experience I get from it; i.e. "When X happens I feel ..." I have been working with this principle for some time now.  I got it from the book:  "Non-violent communication"  I really DO try and communicate that way. 

    And even though I recognize that others do not have the same love for communication techniques as I do, it still drives me crazy that the average person takes it personal or think what I have shared "also must mean" that they are wrong.   One might say, "I feel like your saying I am wrong" to which I reply, wrong is not how you FEEL.  It is what you have decided it must mean about you. 

    Maybe one day there will come a time when our automatic response to people addresses the originating statement.  It's kind of like when you program a website.  You have tags.  They have a syntax that they must follow, you open a tag; like this:  <p> and you close a tag; like this: </p>  Your <p> tag stays open if you try and close it with something like <b>.  This makes no sense to you at all if you haven't looked at source code.

    It would be interesting if we could think of communication like a clean piece of html code.  Open the communication with a feeling, close the feeling by addressing it.  Open the communication with a thought, close the thought by addressing the thought.  Don't just leave it all messy.

    Well, this was just some random thoughts I was having while taking a little break from, guess what, redesigning my website.  LOL!

    Hi Again!

    And thank you for adding me as a friend.

    It's frustrating for sure. Sometimes we say duck, and a duck is just a duck. But the person you are talking too hears duck but thinks ugly duck.

    Maybe the best thing to do with people that you care about is to teach active listening. You know, when you get them repeat back what you say so you know you are on the same page? I often do that with my clients so I am sure I understand what they are saying. I sure wish I was better at that a long time ago. I might still be married! LOL

    You know us men, we all have selective hearing! (just joking guys!)
