Communication is the basis of any quality relationship. How we choose our words can have a huge impact on our relationships, be they friendships, partnerships or family.
According to psychology researcher Lachlan Brown, certain phrases not only help express emotions, but also deepen mutual understanding, strengthen trust and foster a sense of connection. These are some simple but powerful sentences that, according to the researcher, can transform the way we build and maintain relationships.
"appreciate you"
This phrase is not just an expression of gratitude, but an acknowledgment of a person's value in our lives. "When you say 'I appreciate you,' you emphasize their importance and effort, which reinforces a sense of connection and mutual respect," Brown explains to Hack Spirit.
"I understand"
"With this phrase, you show compassion and empathy, letting the person know you're with them without judging or imposing advice. During the conversation, action is often not required, but only the feeling that the person is understood and supported", claims the researcher.
"How can I support you?"
This question provides an opportunity for the person to express what they need, rather than us assuming how we should help. Brown points out, "Open dialogue creates space for genuine support and showing your real concern."
"I'm sorry"
Sincerely saying "I'm sorry" is key to repairing relationships and building trust, the researcher claims. "By accepting responsibility for your actions, you show maturity and willingness to strengthen the relationship," he explained.
"Tell me more"
This phrase encourages openness and honesty from the other person. "When you say to your partner, 'Tell me more,' you show that you're interested in their thoughts and feelings, which leads to deeper and better communication," Brown concluded.
