Assignment - Practice the Skill
Required:
Imagine yourself in these three situations to help practice negative social skills.
- Situation One - You order a coffee at Starbucks, or a drink and shop of your choice. You place your order in a demanding way. Describe how you expect the server would respond. How would this interaction make them feel? Would they be justified in their feelings?
- Situation Two - You are very angry with your friend, whom you approach and start criticizing. For example, you imagine saying "You are the most selfish person I know!". Next, imagine how that felt and describe how you would have felt. What emotions would your friend experience? Do you think that this is an effective way to manage a relationship?
- Situation Three - You show up at all the game but the coach does not give you enough game time, so you start complaining. How can you best achieve a positive outcome? How would complaining make your coach feel? What emotions would they experience?
