If you’re confronting someone whose behavior has upset you, one way to diffuse tension is to start by saying “The story I’m making up is…” and continue the sentence with the assumptions you’ve made about that person’s actions. This not only allows you to explain your feelings to them, it also gives them a passive perspective of their behavior while acknowledging that you understand they weren’t purposely trying to hurt you.

“These violent delights have violent ends
And in their triumph die, like fire and powder,
Which as they kiss consume: the sweetest honey
Is loathsome in his own deliciousness
And in the taste confounds the appetite:
Therefore love moderately; long love doth so;
Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.”
