Ep53: When It Gets Personal (Listener Question with guest Arden Clise)
Manage episode 244581614 series 2431989
If we hang around with someone long enough, there are little things that pop up that can distract us from heart of the relationship. It might be the way another person eats, dresses, or even folds the towels. And those might seem trivial – after all, differences or annoyances in those areas aren’t make-or-break issues. But they’re not so trivial when they become distractions that suck up our attention.
Our question this episode: how should we approach sensitive topics that have to do with someone’s personal habits?
This episode focuses on a listener question about giving feedback to someone about a personal quirk. When I read the question, I found myself stumped a bit, so I decided to call on my friend and colleague, Arden Clise. If you’re a regular listener, you might remember her from our conversation in episode 5, which serves as a good companion episode to this one.
Here's the listener question, submitted anonymously:
"How do I tell a member of my family about their eating habit, about eating with their mouth shut without hurting their feelings?"
