but that's the thing, using generalizations are harmful when speaking about personal feelings. I would much rather hear "You did X, Y and Z and it makes me feel bad" rather than "I hate everything you do".

I always know where women come from when they say "men are trash" or "I hate men", but I can't say it doesn't hurt sometimes because my gut reaction to a generalization is "oh, they are so hurt they can't even speak on specifically what hurt them, so I guess I'm just trash for now until further notice"

"oh, they are so hurt they can't even speak on specifically what hurt them, so I guess I'm just trash for now until further notice"

The hardest part is not internalizing. They're trusting you enough to complain to you, so you're obviously not trash to them. It should only be, "oh, they are so hurt they can't even speak on specifically what hurt them."
