The Number One Rule for Healthy Relationships
The number one rule for healthy relationships is to communicate honestly, kindly, and politely. This involves expressing true feelings, avoiding harsh words, and replacing them with understanding and compassionate language. For example, instead of saying 'Shut up about your friends', say 'I feel a bit ignored at the moment'. Instead of 'I never want to see you again', say 'I'm feeling upset and need some distance'.
