Non-violent communication empowers giraffes to communicate in a non-violent, healing, empowering manner. I've just had a violent argument with a loved one, trying to assert my boundaries, and I've made them feel guilty, so after having cooled down while washing the dishes I've told them that I was sorry, that I was entirely responsible for what I'd said, and that I was entitled to pass them a message, but not in this manner.NVC is about empowering and responsibilizing its speakers about the way they communicate. For a novice speaker, it's a common mistake to ask their loved ones for support or to believe they would fail because their loved ones wouldn't speak giraffe and by doing so, to put on them a responsibility that they can't take on and as both naive and non-NVC speakers to deviate the conversation on tone policing (making them believe we'd try to make them feel guilty for the way they communicate, reminding them of the currently harmful school/education system or people/parents telling them they'd deserve it).
