Feelings are primarily the results of emotions, experiences and sensations and allowing these elements to surface without some control being exercised always can give way to some very unpleasant and uncomfortable situations indeed.
Therefore there is a need to understand and explore ways that these feelings can be expressed in kinder ways while still maintaining the severity of the intended underlying message.
Using specific words often help the other party to understand the negativity without being offended, provided the words chosen are not of a “character attacking” nature.
Being vague only gives rise to further irritation and an even worse situation. Another effective way of expressing feelings in a kind way is to address the issue that is being confronted first, rather than the actual feeling that resulted.
By using this method, the receiving party gets to understand the intention behind the reprimand rather than the reprimand itself. Always maintain a level of respect and avoid decretory connotations when expressing feelings, as this will ensure a kinder choice of words being used.
Expressing feelings rather than keeping them bottled up, also encourages less use of severe words and a calmer and gentler approach to making the said feelings understood.
Bottling up feelings will more likely result in an unpleasant outburst, which is often hurtful and damaging. By always opting to communicate displeasure in a kind manner, increases the likelihood of the receiving party being more open to listening to the grievances expressed, rather than becoming instantly defensive.
