Albert Einstein: What a wise man never says to a woman

2. “You Always…” or “You Never…”

Absolute statements are rarely accurate and usually escalate conflict.

Examples include:

• “You never support me.”
• “You always complain.”
• “You never listen.”

Why wise people avoid this:

These phrases turn one issue into an attack on character. The conversation quickly becomes about defending oneself instead of solving the problem.

A better approach:

Focus on the specific situation:

“I felt hurt when that happened.”

This encourages discussion instead of blame.
