I don't understand why I always mess up when I try to fix things around the house. I was attempting to repair the garbage disposal, but now it's worse than before.

Well, it's not your fault that you're not handy. We can always call a professional to come fix it instead.

But I feel like such a failure. I should be able to do these things myself.

It's okay to ask for help. And hey, at least you tried. That's more than some people would do.

I just get so frustrated and angry with myself when I can't figure it out. Like earlier, when I banged my fists on the counter. I'm sorry about leaving a mess for you to clean up.

It's okay, I cleaned it up. But maybe next time, instead of getting angry, you can take a break and come back to it with a clear mind. And if you still can't fix it, that's okay too.

Thanks for understanding. I'll try to remember that next time. You know, speaking of understanding, remember that time when Person Y was telling me about their day and I just listened and nodded along? They seemed to really appreciate it.

Yes, I remember. Listening and showing empathy can make a big difference in someone's day. It's a good skill to have, especially in relationships.
