RF3 — Feelings, Handled Well

Paste the part where you write about how you felt.

Honestly the whole thing was a disaster and the other student didn't pull their weight at all, which was so frustrating and typical.

The feeling is clear and it's fine to name frustration. Two things to adjust so this works as reflection rather than venting.

First, it currently aims outward at the other person (“didn't pull their weight… typical”). Reflection works better when it stays with your own experience. Second, “disaster” names a verdict, not a feeling.

Try this: rewrite one sentence that names what you felt at a specific moment, and what that feeling tells you. Keep the other person anonymous and avoid character judgements. Paste it and I'll review.

The tutor questions, diagnoses and teaches, but never writes your experience, feelings, insight or learning. That boundary is the whole point.
