    This document discusses dealing with feelings that arise from assumptions. It suggests identifying the emotion being felt, questioning the assumptions that led to that emotion, and practicing alternative assumptions to change one's feelings. Practicing assuming one is good at maintaining friendships and taking action to meet social needs, rather than feeling lonely, can lead to feeling better about oneself.

    Dealing with Feelings from Assumptions


    Identify the emotion Example: I’m feeling lonely.

    Assumptions I should not have to be the person


    who always makes the phone calls,
    identifies social activities, makes
    the plans, and invites the guests.

    Question your assumptions It doesn’t mean that I’m liked less


    because I’m the organizer, it just
    means I do all of the work.

    Practice different assumption and I’m just better at maintaining


    notice emotion changes friendships, at recognizing my
    social needs, and at taking action to
    meet my needs. That is healthy and
    means I’m effective and strategic. I
    don’t have to let my loneliness last
    a long time. I feel a little better
    about myself.
