I’m here for you. Goes from a declaration of support to a threat, or even worse an acknowledgement of stalking real damn quick depending on how you inflect different words in the sentence.
A presenter at a seminar I once attended on communication repeated the following sentence, but each time he did, he emphasized a different word. It totally changed the meaning each time:
In one context, you are gutting an animal that we will cook over a campfire, sipping an alcoholic beverage or smoking a little weed, laughing, singing and enjoying life
In the other you are, well you decide what the other one means
If they say it in a cheerful tone they really are happy for you. But if they say it in an angry or sarcastic tone they are either jealous or they don’t care about what you jist told them.
Tbf that one probably sounds wrong regardless of tone. I just really like peanuts and almonds and nuts in general, they’re really good. Plus super helpful for my Hypoglycemia.
My adult son has autism and he regularly perseverates (repeats phrases over and over and over)
One phrase he says is “Do you want to leave?” In an angry hissing tone. I asked him who said that to him, thinking a teacher was upset at him in class.
“You don’t remember, dad? It was you” then he reminded me of the time we took him to The Nutctacker and he was agitated and I hissed at him in the theater in a threatening tone “do you want to leave?”
