I dislike the "So in other words you mean that " technique used in a conversation. Especially if it's not in a form of a question but rather a statement.

"What do you mean by that?"
"Do you mean that ?"
A nicer way to put it, in my opinion ๐Ÿค— Takes more of the blaming out of the reply, keeping it a bit more neutral โค

.

Don't get me wrong - sometimes it is needed to assess negative things people do.
But it can be done in a more polite way.
No need to be more harsh than what a situation/conversation really needs.

Heh. A comic is one thing, but they can be starting points for a comment or lesson well done, received and learned โค
