I'm Making It Worse

Do you ever feel like you don't like a situation, but you're just making it worse? It makes me think of the amazing feeling I had when I was reading Crucial Conversations and realized that it was right: giving people the silent treatment because you want them to treat you better makes no sense. None at all. I've been varying between silence and sarcasm and other things, and I can at least recognize those things, but I'm having trouble knowing what to do instead.

I'm sorry.
