I thought the article was very insightful.
A few points from me:
1. I would not have used the terms shame and aggresive for the things he was saying to do. I would say it was being increasingly assertive. I do not think it is ever correct to be aggressive in such a situation. I would also say he was asking for courtesy, not shaming, at least I hope not, and being increasing blunt.
-
I would caution people to not use shame or aggressive methods. Some people can react violently to shame and/or aggression. The person may end up hating you, even if nothing happens.
-
If you feel getting caught up and losing your cool, you need to take a time out.
-
Have a safe place and/or safe people to go to after a stressful encounter. During this time meditate on what you could have done better and resolve to do that the next time.
