This is a "Communication and Speech course"****************Based on the Book: Looking In, Looking Out
I'm confused with this discussion board question and would appreciate if someone would help me. Thank you.

Examples

That’s the most disgusting thing I’ve ever heard!

Analysis: This isn’t a satisfactory statement, since the speaker isn’t clearly claiming that he/she is disgusted. The speaker doesn’t seem to recognize feelings , doesn’t verbally express a feeling

and doesn’t accept responsibility by using “I” language.

Restatement: I’m upset and angry that those parents left their young children alone overnight .

You’re being awfully sensitive about that.

Analysis: The speaker is labeling another’s feelings but saying nothing about his/her own feelings. We don’t know if the speaker is concerned, irritated, or indifferent.
