“The aim of argument, or of discussion, should not be victory, but progress.” – Joseph Joubert
According to Hal Runkel, a marriage and family therapist, couples who use the word “ouch” can communicate to the other person that whatever was said has hurt you and that you are showing your vulnerability. I thought about how this new piece of knowledge might assist clients with their real estate transactions and am still mulling over this. However, I have had home sellers in the past say just that – “ouch” when they received a lowball offer, or a time when a buyer received a counter offer much higher than what they were anticipating. We likely use this word more often than we realize. I honestly thought the word “ouch” was followed by a string of strong words when you hit your head getting out of the shower, or when you stub your toe. I did not understand until this week how much power was in 4 little letters.
