Comment on The second question by Christopher Jones

Thanks for your comment Scott. I have spoken to a lot of yes/no people. It has been especially hard when I am their coach. Helping them open up I’ve used follow-up questions like, “what makes you say yes?”. Not always easy.

This is something that I was not very good at for a very long time and I have used the suggestions you provided above with great results in the past. When I started digging a bit deeper, however, I discovered that what I was not doing was listening. If you listen effectively, you will be able to keep things going very well. Of course, there are the people from planet Yes/No. Those are the folks that are intently interested in not starting a conversation. You have to remember that these people have their own issues and just move on to the next person (they are very busy, their dad is in the hospital, they just lost their last game of squash, they lost their collectors SpongeBob Square Pants pen). No need to feel bad about it it is just the way it is. I try not to coax the planet Yes/No people out of their box. If and when it is time they will open up. Only in their own time though. Thank you for this post. Great Advice!

Great perspective. Like you, I can shoot out all kinds of logical advice to my kids and friends, but can never seem to find the right words for myself.

Comment on I won’t forgive you by Mahmod

Two people inastntly come to mind when I think forgiveness My husband and my step-dad. All through high school, my step-dad (who has now admitted to this, since finding Christ) did everything in his power to make my life harder. I was already struggling with depression and self-esteem issues because I had just started to really make friends when they decided to get married. We had to move to the other side of the country. I had an even harder time making friends in California. I didn’t agree with a lot of things my peers were doing, I was extremely shy and just packed on another shell to hide my true self when we moved, and on top of that, my step-dad refused to ever let me leave the house without the rest of the family. He has changed a lot, but in some ways he hasn’t. I still have some problems with him, although I’ve learned better, more mature ways to deal with these problems. I’ve forgiven him for a lot but I am definitely still a long way from the end of that journey. As for my husband, we have just had a LOT f ups and extreme downs. With both people I listed, there was a lot of emotional/psychological abuse as well as small amounts of physical abuse. That is something that I have always been afraid of and felt I would never be able to forgive someone for. I CAN’T forgive someone for it. However, I have given it to God and he can cleanse that from our lives and our minds. Things are not fully resolved, but we are working to eliminate these things and to forgive and leave the past in the past.

Comment on Tell them what they need to hear by dogear6

This is a great topic, but I get tired of giving honest feedback and getting slammed for it. A lot of people get what they want to hear because they really don’t want feedback.

You see that play out over and over on TV when Gordon Ramsay and Robert Irvine try to turn around failing restaurants. People don’t want to be helped, they want to keep doing what they’re doing but get a different result.

I loved the photos on Facebook! Your family pics were great.

And congrats on the new job – I never wrote back to you to say that.
