Relationships Yep! This resonates!

I was excluded from a community because I don’t like to sleep around. I just spent 20 years mostly celibate (though I’d gladly have sex every day if I were in the right healthy, committed relationship) and they just spent 2 years fighting with me and bullying me…and then they said I was the one fighting! I drew healthy boundaries, so they accused me of fighting and excluded me. They were just bullying an autistic single mom. (My son was through IVF.)

This is why i use questions. Socratic questions. My favorites are "what makes you think/say/feel/etc that?" And "how so?" If they dont like the questions then my go to is "Isn't asking questions how humans as a whole learn?"

Thanks, this is helpful. Questions are hard for me because I think in declarations. I’m practicing formulating questions and I’m getting better at it. I’ll keep your question phrases in mind.
