It’s not always easy to find ways to communicate negative feelings. These things always require a bit of time to process and being so rash with your decisions might end up with others seeing you in a bad light.
However, there are ways to communicate negative feelings without other people accusing you of being too harsh or insensitive. To find out what these are, read on!
1) You’re one of them.
One of the ways to communicate negative feelings is by using yourself as an example. For instance, you find yourself in a situation where you’re supposed to reprimand someone for a mistake.
Instead of just focusing on that person’s mistake here and now, try telling that person about a similar mistake you (or someone else) made, and how you (they) managed to correct it before things had gotten worse. This helps the person feel that they are not alone, and will be more receptive of your corrections.
2) Find the balance.
A lot of people have wrong notions about ways to communicate negative feelings. Some people feel that they should sugarcoat everything to avoid hurt feelings. Meanwhile, others feel that being blunt is the only way to get through it.
However, none of these suggestions will do you any good. The trick is to find the balance. You can’t be too soft and you can’t be too harsh either. You have to find the middle ground.
3) Don’t wait too long.
Some people also think that stowing these negative feelings away is the only solution. However, this only serves to build the negative emotions up. Not a very good solution. If you have something negative to say, you can’t wait a year or two before letting it out.
Coming up with ways to communicate negative feelings is not easy for many. But it is part of a normal life. Everyone goes through with it. Others on a daily basis even. If you find yourself at a loss for what to do, try these tips or ask someone to help you communicate these negative feelings.
