Explaining yourself is essentially an attempt to seek another’s approval and validate their importance.
-
Giving away two of your most precious resources – your time and attention; automatically making their argument stronger.

To express dissatisfaction, keep your expectations concise and focus more on finding resolutions using constructive dialogue.
Often complete silence is the best possible response.
