Siggy's Blurbs: Siggy's Edge of Country …

What is matter with you!?  Right away puts me on the defensive.  I know damn well I am flawed.  Maybe a more personal statement using “I” in it would be better.  As such:  what you are doing bothers me.  Make it a little more personal instead:  use exact terms.  Maybe give me a chance to explain my actions or even apologize for hurting you but don’t say, ‘What is a matter with you?!’  Give me a chance to talk.  Don’t shut me down.  Give me the benefit of the doubt.  You would want the same courtesy.  Communication is always a two way street.  Don’t assume you are always right.  Or justified.  Give me a chance.  That is all I ever wanted.
