Please choose the correct ending to complete the given sentence: Relationships: [header] How to tactfully ask emotional questions [title] Decide exactly what you want to talk about and why. [step] Think about what you want to see happen in the future, and try not to dwell on every shortcoming from the past. [substeps] Concentrate on the current situation, not past ones.

Ending1: Think about actions that are happening in the future, how you might react to them, and how they affect the present moment. If you're not sure how to broach the subject, find a gentle method that works for you. Ending2: Nothing is more painful to deal with than discovering an amount of information you actually believe could be useful later. Keep in mind that you don't need to insert necessary disclosures to lighten the mood. Ending3: For example, if a co-worker is trying to have an emotional conversation with you, instead of thinking about how you might react and responding in an ideal way, you might focus on the upcoming meeting. Cutting out or avoiding some aspects of the meeting can heighten anxiety for both of you. Ending4: Try not to get too wordy-explain what you're feeling and why. Finally, say what you would like to see happen.
