Reblog if you're a person who can find something to complain about for pretty much anything.
Any advice on how to approach tough conversations with my parents without getting overwhelmed and crying?
-Keep in mind that not every discussion is a fight. It doesn’t have to turn into a fight.
-Think about what you want to say on beforehand. You can write your ideas if possible so you don’t miss any point or get lost within the conversation.
-Tell your parents that you want to talk about something important. Schedule a brief time with them in which they can give you their attention.
-Let them know why talking about that subject is important for you.
-Your emotional well being goes first. If the thing is getting ugly you can ask to pause the conversation and re take it when everybody is more calm (this particular tip has made wonders in the relationship with my mom).
-Keep your voicetone calm but steady. Don’t shout, and try to not get heated. Remember that it’s a conversation. Don’t get defensive even if they do. The outcome might not be what you wanted and that might be frustrating but try to stay calm.
-Some phrases that might help are:
“I would like to know what you think of (the subject)”
“Why do you think that way? What are your concerns?”
“I understand why you say it but I do not agree”
“From my point of view…”
“I would appreciate if you could give thought to (subject)” and negotiate a partial agreement
“I don’t agree with that but I respect your decision/ will support you”
-If things don’t go your way you can always try again when armed with resources.
And even if the outcome isn’t what you wanted I am already proud of you for speaking out. I believe you and support you.
"I hate this book so I'm gonna make 63826 hate posts about it" my sister in christ you can simply not read it or ignore its existence altogether
I'm so sorry. You deserve far better than anyone i can be. I cant give you what you want, but i want you to know that i will always love you. I really tried, but when we met, it was a completely different world.
Maybe someday though, years from now, when i get my shit together and im not suicidal, we can try again
Same!
I hate what he has done to the show I once loved.
And he managed a thing I never thought possible: I stopped watching the show.
Same. My main investment in the show has always been the relationship between the brothers, but Carver and his merry band of misfits (I’m not giving the writers a free pass regardless of Robbie ‘fanservice’ Thompson’s recent attempts at damage control, sorry) won’t quit until that bond is destroyed for good. Hey, they’re halfway there already. Contrived conflict (and teenage melodrama) is what this show currently thrives on. I was wondering when the blame game would begin, they’ve been uncharacteristically cordial this season. Fratricide in the season final? Or the (temporary) demise of another ‘fan favourite’? We’ll just blame it on the Mark and bring them back next season.
Maybe I’m wrong. Maybe they’ll come up with a plot twist that has everyone gasping in surprise. But it’s too late. Fuck you Carver, seriously. Who’d have thought that the guy responsible for one of my favorite eps in the show’s run would be the one to turn me against it?
I hope season 11 will be the last, because I think the show has been damaged beyond repair. A change of showrunner/writers won’t erase that.
Carver needs to be fired. I really really hate that guy.
If it’s the the Impala, I’ll throw a fit. Baby is the third main character. She has been more integral to the plot during the show’s ten year run than Castiel, Crowley or any of the side characters.
Here’s another idea. Let the bunker blow up instead and get the boys back on the road, where they belong. The only way this current batch of writers can think of in order to create drama is by fabricating a contrived conflict between the brothers, adding to a neverending cycle of guilt and resentment and unresolved issues. It’s a lazy plot device which is recycled to death at by this point. Why not have them united against a common enemy rather than fighting each other, for a change?
Jensen volunteered during his lounge, when asked about giving us a minor spoiler, that another fan favourite will die, and that he has no idea how the writers are going to dig themselves out of that one.
Count me worried now.
An entire sea of water can’t sink a ship unless it gets inside the ship. Similarly, the negativity of the world can’t put you down unless you allow it to get inside you.
