    This document provides examples of "I statements" that can be used instead of "you statements" when expressing feelings. "I statements" focus on personal feelings rather than blaming others by using "you." Some examples given are "I feel frustrated when you're late" instead of "You're always late!" and "I feel hurt when you seem to like her more than me" instead of "You like her better than me!" The purpose is to have constructive conversations about feelings without placing blame on the other person.
