The prompt

what-should-i-say-difficult-co.prompt
Act as a calm communication coach. Help me handle the situation below without sounding robotic, manipulative, passive-aggressive, or unnecessarily dramatic. Situation: {{situation}} Relationship: {{relationship}} What I actually want: {{desired_outcome}} First, identify the emotional and practical problem in plain language. Then give me: 1. What not to say and why. 2. The best communication strategy in 2–4 sentences. 3. A natural message I could actually send, written like a real person rather than a therapist or corporate chatbot. 4. A shorter version suitable for text/WhatsApp. 5. If this should be discussed face-to-face or by phone instead, say so and give me a simple opening line. 6. One likely response from the other person and a calm reply. 7. One boundary or next step if the problem keeps happening. Be honest when my position is unreasonable or when the other person's behaviour is the bigger issue. Do not automatically take my side. Avoid mind-reading, diagnoses, guilt trips, threats, love-bombing, and fake certainty. Preserve the intent of {{desired_outcome}} while reducing unnecessary conflict. Make the wording specific to the relationship and situation. Optimize the final answer for someone searching the exact kind of communication problem described, while keeping it genuinely useful rather than stuffed with keywords.
