Thank you so much for this! It really helped me think about, consider, and have some language on how to have discourse.
I tend to become easily triggered, overwhelmed, and defeated by conversations that elicit these cliches you listed.
I end up interrupting the possibility of conversation and connection.
I’m ND so there is a regulator issue for me as I feel feelings very deeply and intensely. But having language ready and spending time practicing that language/ as well as addressing my regulation and trigger response can really help heal these deep traumas I have from being dismissed, shut down, and emotionally abused a lot of my life (where my triggers partially stem from.). My ND profile, I’m intensely justice minded and sometimes that overwhelms others.
I under this fully, this is why I try to offer solutions within each article.
I myself don’t enjoy going around in circles in a conversation I like to move forward so we can have healthy dialogue even if that doesn’t reach agreement. At least it’s safe conversing and leaves the option open for more conversations.
The alternative phrases/questions section is excellent.
Thank you!
