I don't read enough to know enough.
My thoughts are actually shallow (although i think they're deep)
I let my emotions take over my thinking at times
I FORM CONCLUSIONS TOO EASILY.
I have difficulties expressing my feelings
I have difficulties understanding my feelings
I don't spend enough time thinking about my thoughts/conclusions/actions
I don't appreciate people that are close to me enough
I always think i'm there.
Need To
read more books (books broaden your thoughts), always think with reason and sense, never stop thinking, write down my thoughts, review my thoughts/actions everytime i do or think, think about what i am feeling, why i feel that way, and how i should act upon that feeling. Always remind myself of how the people around me are, and think about the specific things to say and do, that i think would be the best response/reaction to whatever people around me say or do.
Be clear about what i feel to the person i'm telling my feelings to.
Communicate difficult feelings in a manner that minimizes the other person’s need to become defensive, and increases the likelihood that the person will listen.
Speak my feelings about the other person's behaviour. (do it)(respectfully)
and it has to make sense.
When ... Describe the person’s behavior you are reacting to in an objective, non-blameful, and non-judgmental manner.
The effects are ... Describe the concrete or tangible effects of that behavior. (This is the most important part for the other person to understand - your reaction.)
I feel ... Say how you feel. (This is the most important part to prevent a buildup of feelings.)
