“I” messages
You say how you feel and what you think, rather than criticizing someone else
“I feel… (here you name an emotion- anger, fear, disappointment) When you…(here you say what behavior bothers you) Because….”(here you explain why it bothers you)”
Ex: “I feel angry when you talk out loud because you are disturbing the other students.”
