The Shoulds

expecting others (or even yourself) to do things according to some unspoken rule or timeframe
It might sound a bit like this:
  • “Everyone knows that THIS is the way to do it!”
  • “Everyone feels this way!”
  • “A monkey could do this — why can’t you?!”
  • “He should know better!”
  • “If she was a good person, she would (have)…!”
You might find these more helpful:
  • This is how I do it. How about you?
  • This is how I feel. How about you?
  • I would LIKE to have this done by this time… Is that reasonable?
  • May I show you an easy way I know to get this done?
  • Other people cannot read my mind and have other priorities and differing perspectives. What am I expecting, unrealisticly?
