Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I deliver my feedback as a finished verdict and then the other person just sits there closed off
- I tell someone what went wrong but never say what I actually want instead, so they walk away knowing they messed up with no idea what "right" looks like
- I blurt out corrections in the heat of the moment, often right in front of other people, and instead of taking it in they just get humiliated and dig in
- Every time my partner and I try to swap ideas it slides into scoring points
- I want to raise something with someone but it keeps coming out as "you always do this," and they immediately get defensive and start hunting for exceptions
