I have an observation I'd like to share. Through the years working with many different clients I have noticed a curious phenomenon. I keep hearing this phrase:
"I hate to argue."
Well, I would agree with that. Arguing is quite unpleasant and never makes me feel closer to my loved ones. The problem with this statement is that I've found that the people who say it tend to be the most argumentative, angry people I've met!
So what are they really saying? I cannot read minds, but I am going to take a guess based on my work with the "I Hate To Arguers." I think they are really saying, "I hate to be argued with. I hate to have people disagree with me. If people would just agree with me I would have no need to tell them how wrong they are and life would be so much simpler." In other words, "I know best, so do it my way."
What are your thoughts about this? Maybe I'm being a bit harsh, so I'd love to hear what you think.
