7j introduced me to this concept which I think is really awesome, and want to share with all of you. Essentially, it is a specific meaning for the concept "having a feeling."
"Having a feeling," as we use it, means "I'm having a feeling even though I know it doesn't make sense," or "I'm having a feeling, I just don't know what it is or what to do about it." It's a way of saying that you're having some kind of emotional kablooey that probably doesn't have anything to do with the other person inherently but needs attention anyway. Along the lines of "I know this is crazy, but please reassure me anyway and then we can get on with our lives."
Here are some examples of times when this concept may be useful:
"You've been scowling all morning, are you mad at me?" "No, you didn't do anything wrong, I'm just having a feeling."
"I thought we talked about it and you said it was fine?" "Yes, and it is fine, I'm just having a feeling."
"Can you tell me that you're not going to run away with a circus acrobat? I'm having a feeling."
"I just don't want to talk about it right now, I'm having a feeling. I'll let you know when it's a better time."
What communicative concept is very helpful to you in your relationships?
