Observation or Judgment?
In NVC, distinguishing facts from interpretations is essential. Test your skills with this interactive exercise.
Tips to Remember
1Specific facts
Observations include specific details: numbers, times, exact quotes.
2Avoid generalizations
"Always", "never", "everyone" are signs of judgment, not observation.
3Watch for labels
Words like "lazy", "selfish", "rude" are judgments, not facts.
4Check intentions
If you're assuming what someone thinks or wants, it's a judgment.
