November 16, 2009Poison Phrase: You’re angry, aren’t you?
Questions are a valuable way to get information, clarify assumptions, and show respect for other people. But questions like,
- You’re angry, aren’t you?
…aren’t really questions. They’re assumptions disguised as questions.
- What are you feeling?
or,
- Are you angry?
are better approaches.
