But me coming to you and saying, Hey, I noticed this behavior. It really, it hurt my feelings. It caused me offense, I noticed this behavior. It really hurt my feelings. It caused me offense. Or I noticed it hurt that person over there. What happened there? What was going on? That's not judgment. That's curiosity. That could actually lead somewhere relationally good.
