[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So as a guy who doesn’t really understand validating, what is it? Is it different than agreeing? Can you still do it in an honest way if you think the person’s feelings are not in proportion to the issue? (I’m not suggesting telling them they’re wrong; but I might struggle to validate emotions if it means pretending a little deal is a big deal.)[/quote] When John Lennon died I was young and didn’t real know who he was or care. My mom said , “people are very upset, you need to respect their feelings even if you could not care less”. Ever time someone tells me something they deeply care about that makes the sad/mad/etc I think… it’s just like when John Lennon died. Act like John Lennon died.[/quote]
