I understand what you're saying · I acknowledge your feelings or point of view
"I hear you!" is a fantastic way to show someone you're not just listening, but you genuinely understand what they're expressing, especially their feelings or perspective. It's like saying, "Gotcha, I'm with you on this!" without using 'gotcha' (because it's excluded!). 😉
💡 This isn't just about hearing sounds with your ears; it's about empathetic understanding. You can use it to validate someone's feelings, acknowledge their difficulties, or show you grasp their argument, even if you don't fully agree with their solution. It's a relationship-builder! 👍
When would you most appropriately use the expression 'I hear you!'? A. 🗣️ When someone is speaking too quietly and you can't literally hear them. B. 🤫 When you want someone to stop talking immediately. C. 🤔 When you understand and acknowledge a friend's frustration about a difficult situation.
