"you always interrupt me! "

question 2 options:

a) "i am mad because you always interrupt me."
b) “you should stop interrupting me.”
c) "i feel angry when you interrupt me because you are rude".
d) "i feel mad when you interrupt me because i need to be heard."

Explanation: Hello :)

Communication is important, and it needs to be effective when being used.

A) "I am mad because you always interrupt me."

This doesn't exactly solve the problem, does it? It blames the person who is interrupting, but does not meet the needs of people nor solve the problem in an effective manner.

B) " You should stop interrupting me."

This is a statement, not a conversation. It does not provide a solution or a way to work towards the solution, but may cause more harm than good in this case.

C) " I feel angry when you interrupt me because you are rude."

Alright, we are getting somewhere with this one, but it still won't do. It accuses the person who is being spoken to of something that may or may not be true, and deflects blame from the speaker.

D) " I feel mad when you interrupt me because I need to be heard. "

Here we go! This states the person's feelings and effect that the other person has on them. This can help them work towards a solution to solve this problem.

I believe the best answer here would be D.

its d- have personal value and positive expectations
