Let's
take
a

back
and
try
to
understand
each
other's
point
of
view.

can
we
focus
on
finding
a
solution
together?

I
know
we
can
find
common
ground
if
we
actively
listen
to
each

Let's
avoid
making
personal
attacks
and

discussing
the
issue
at
hand.

I
appreciate
your
input,
but
I
need
some
time
to
digest
it
before
responding.
【requesting
space】

Can
we
take
a
break
from
this
conversation
to
cool
off
and

I
want
to
hear
your
thoughts,
but
please
let
me
finish
before
responding.
【requesting
courtesy】

Instead
of
focusing
on
blame,
let's
focus
on
finding
a
solution
that
works
for
both
of
us.
【proposing
common
goal】
14.
I
understand
that

this
calmly?

still
cherish
our
friendship/relationship
despite
this

Can
we
acknowledge
each
other's
emotions
without
invalidating
them?
【empathizing】
17.
I
didn't
mean
to
hurt
your
feelings,
but
can
we
discuss
why
you're
feeling
that
way?
【apologizing
and
engaging】

I
value
your

and
want
to
find
a
way
to
incorporate
it
into
our

I'm
sorry
if
my
tone
came
across
harshly,
I
do
care
about
what
you
have
to
say.

and
affirming】
20.
We
may
not
see
eye
to
eye
on
this,
but
I
still
respect
your
opinion.
