Everyday Life Example
When we argue:
Bob: That was a lame movie!
Suzy: Why?
Bob: The special effects were bad. The monsters were obviously fake.
Suzy: I thought the movie was good because the acting was believable.
Bob’s bad response: You don’t know what you’re talking about.
Bob’s good response: Yes, the acting was good, but the horrible special effects were too distracting and caused some awkward moments.
