"and"

If you study non violent communication, folks will say to avoid using "I agree with you, but". Because as soon as you say " but ", people get defensive and stop listening to you.

Whenever possible, replace "but" with "and" if the sentence still has the same meaning

This was not a case of "I agree with you, but...", though. "But" is perfectly appropriate here to contrast between the first statement and the second.

"I agree with you BUT you are being an a--hole."

"I agree with you AND you are being an a--hole."

Hmm. ๐Ÿค”

Yeah. It also makes it sound way more impactful and true. Thank you! ๐Ÿ˜
