Turn "You" Messages into "I" Messages

This worksheet gives you the opportunity to transform aggressive communication

("You” statements) into assertive communication ( "I" statements).

Assertive communication is descriptive and factual, while aggressive communication

is interpretive, judgmental and unfair to others.

Examples of " You" statements:

“Why are you acting so mean to me?”

“Why are you being so nosy? It's none of your business!”

Examples of "I" statements :

I feel uncomfortable when you raise your voice at me.

I do not feel comfortable sharing something so personal.

YOU Message: “You make me so mad!”
