Skipping the Feeling at Step 1

Severity 3Method disciplineStep 1

Moves past step 1 without getting an emotional response on exploitation, nothing to hold them accountable to.

The give pair

Gives ammo

Okay, moving on, do you agree humans should respect animals?

Gives nothing

How do you feel about humans exploiting other animals?

The round they fire back

Refuses to engage feelings; stays intellectual or dismissive without committing to any stance.

How to fix it

Step 1 must get how they feel about exploitation. Opening question: Hello, how do you feel about humans exploiting other animals? That is correct. If they won't answer, reassert. Each deflection is a strike; three strikes, disengage.

Coaching notes

  • If they don't tell you how they feel, you have nothing to hold them accountable to.
  • First always make sure they give some feeling, some emotion.
  • The step 1 opening question is correct. Do not criticize asking it directly.
  • Deflection on feeling = strike. Focus on reachable people; walk away from those who won't engage.
