Question

PLEASE HELP ME ASAP!!!! Please read the case scenario and develop an "I" statement. Be sure to use one of the patterns found in the directions. Jan is walking down the hall when a student approaches and says, "If you had not fouled out the last game, we would have won the game." Jan replies to the other student?

Answer 1

"I'm sorry you feel that way, I tried my very best. I'll work on that." You just have to use I before you because when you use the word you in the front of the sentence it makes the person feel attached.

Answer 2

Answer: I am upset my mistake cost us the game and you feel bad about it. I will do better next time.

Explanation: “I” statements also known as "I" messages allows speakers to be assertive without being accusatory, which often can make listeners feel defensive. While it helps us become aware of problematic behavior and allowing us take responsibility for our own thoughts and feelings, rather than being accusatory, it also helps in fostering positive communication, helping to make them stronger. This is because sharing feelings and thoughts in an open manner in addition to being honest can help people grow closer especially on emotional levels.
