When you say, “Don’t worry,” we hear, “Your drama is so intense it could win an Oscar. But really, just stop.”
When you say, “You’re just being impatient,” we hear, “I’d appreciate it if your emotions could just hurry and sort themselves out. Thanks!”
When you say, “Later, later,” we hear, “I am so not interested in what you’re asking that I’m scheduling my lack of interest for never.”
When you say, “Wow, your price is so high.” we hear, “I’m questioning your worth, but let’s pretend I’m just surprised.”
When you say, “It’s not a big deal,” we hear, “I’m minimising your feelings because who needs emotional depth, right?”
Mean what you say but don’t be mean when you say it.
