I understand how you feel
Though few words are almost up to words “Thank You”. A thank you is a poem of caring, which is in my book “Happiness in Eight Steps”.
Why are such few words so impacting? Let’s start when you go to someone with a problem. If the person you are asking for help starts out with a lot of questions, like why did you do that or you should have done this. Will more than likely you will be turned off and the door to open communication is if not closed or will be close shortly. However, if the person you’re asking for help starts out with “I understand how you feel” it takes the pressure off you. Then the person my say to you can I help you and if so how. Now you are not feeling threatened.
If the person you are asking the question for help says “can you retell me your problem?” Things really start to feel a whole lot better. When you restate your issue many times the answer comes to you and you can thank the person you asked for help and move one.
If the answer doesn’t pop up then you and the other person can have a good conversation on the issue and in most cases solve the problem.
It is what someone says to you that can make all the difference. So remember when someone comes to you with an issue, start with “I understand how you feel”. You will find you and the other person will have a much more open discussion and have a better chance of solving the issue. The other person will feel much better, with this approach. So start out with “I understand how you fell”.
