When someone hurts our feelings or behaves badly, we typically respond with anger or silence. It’s normal to react this way, but when we do, we may be letting the other person off the hook. We feel as if we’re protecting ourselves, but we may actually be more concerned about how other people will manage themselves in a difficult conversation and how uncomfortable they might become. We may be nervous about gently putting the other person on the spot.
