I thought these thoughts from Sarahsdaughter made for important reading for men and women alike:
I’ve come to understand that my first response is often times
1)emotional and irrational 2)based in fear (not truth) 3)not the same
response I might have later after processing information 4)should not be
verbalized until said processing of information is done.We, as
women understand and find no issue with the fact that we need to go
through these processes in order to figure out what is true – even when
it comes to our feelings. We want to talk it through. And then, we have a
tendency to arrive at new conclusions without going back and
apologizing for emotional outbursts that were based on wrong
conclusions.
