One of the secrets of successful conversations is the right choice of phrases. Often people react to other people's words inappropriately just because they were frightened by the expressions chosen by the interlocutor. Such errors are best avoided.
Phrases that are scary to hear from loved ones
From lovers, as well as from parents, you can occasionally hear a classic, but no less frightening phrase: "We need to seriously talk." Most of all in this case, people are afraid of the unknown: it is clear that a conversation is expected, moreover, probably on an unpleasant topic, but what exactly will be discussed is unknown. A person begins to remember all his “sins”, to think what exactly happened, to create in his imagination imaginable and unthinkable dangers that await him.
A similar effect has the innocent-looking phrase "Come on, come to me, " said in a menacing tone. It causes fear and even panic, especially if in this way the father or mother calls the child to him.
The phrase "I know everything" or its analogue "Do you want to tell me anything?" It can also produce a very strong effect, especially when it comes to a note, electronic message or SMS, when a person can not hear the intonations and see the expression on the face of his interlocutor. Hearing such words from someone close to you, especially from a husband or wife, you can panic, trying to guess what has become known and what threatens to clarify the facts that a person wanted to hide.
Sometimes a young guy or a young girl can be seriously scared or even made to panic by a phrase heard from the second half: "I think you should go get to know my parents." The less experience a person has in love affairs, the worse these words will be for him. For men who do not plan to have children, there is, however, an even more traumatic option: "Honey, I'm pregnant."
