("too," I'm afraid, in the sense that I seem to be living in a state of confusion, rather than that others are also confused by this same thing...) This is all just continuing TC's search for hypothetical enlightenment, with all the usual disclaimers.
Seriously, though -- wouldn't saying "I feel threatened" be an appropriate "I statement," since it deals with my feeling, rather than saying that someone had threatened me? I statements still confuse me, as you can probably tell, but I'm waiting anxiously to hear the response to this.
Of course, that's because I have an anxiety disorder, but still...
