This is fantastic and something I learned the hard way. These days I say it once and don't feel the need to keep explaining. Some people just don't have the capacity or are unwilling to hear.
In my personal relationships, I am very sensitive to being dismissed, overlooked or not listened to (an issue I am aware of and working to manage). Consequently I tend to feel hurt and angry when not listened to so am apt to rephrase, reword and reframe if I have the opportunity. I’m learning that this doesn’t always work (thank you Nedra!), but it’s a hard habit to break! I spent years as a therapist reframing to help clients understand concepts so it’s pretty ingrained. As always, I’m a work in progress!!
The word I needed... When I needed it - Thank you!
And may I add that I love the humor in this piece... I'm definitely a "it was raining, 70 degrees, and a Thursday when I said it so I'll try again next week" kinda person 😁

Already reposted with a great quote, Nedra!
