The actions speak for themselves, it is a fact. But the fact that a word can kill, has not been canceled. We monitor our speech so as not to hurt or disappoint the interlocutor, without even wanting to.
? As I said before
It sounds kind of harmless, but there is a subtext here: I have already spoken, but they did not hear you, and you have to repeat it. It is better to do without this phrase and just repeat what you said before. You never know why you were not heard - the reasons can be valid.
? Knew it would be so
First, this is how we denote what is more discerning than the other. And this is completely ambiguous. Secondly, we hit his already injured nerves. Do not do like this.
? With all due respect
This phrase, by definition, cannot be benevolent or even neutral: after it, we will definitely say what the person will be unpleasant to hear. Speak right away, without prelude - straightforwardness will only be a plus for you.
️ Just reminding
Sounds like a kick, even if you didn't mean it. Drop the beginning and say right away what you mean.
? Everything will be fine
We say this automatically, sincerely wanting to cheer the person up. But no one knows for sure whether there will be. Therefore, such a statement sounds like a go-ahead. It is better to make it clear to the interlocutor that you are always ready to listen and support him.
