Can you tell us more about why you think this is a good idea? Answers on Interpersonal Skills SE need to be well-justified and backed up with either evidence or personal experience that shows the OP that this is a good idea. See [this meta post](What are the citation expectations of answers on IPS Stack Exchange?https://interpersonal.meta.stackexchange.com/q/3583\) for more information.

Hey, thanks for the answer! Can you please explain why you think that this is a good idea? Why do you say to take this course of action? What’s the thought process behind this answer? As this currently stands, this reads like "Try this!", which misses out information that helps the OP decide on a course of action. Answers here [should provide](Should we be more strict about one-line answers?https://interpersonal.meta.stackexchange.com/q/2003/\) some sort of explanation for why they are suggesting this solution, which at the moment this answer doesn't appear to do.

Hi and welcome to IPS! Please take a minute to read our [citation expectations](What are the citation expectations of answers on IPS Stack Exchange?https://interpersonal.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/3583\). Answers on IPS need to include some backup in the form of either personal experience or references - could you explain why you think this advice will work, have you used this approach in a similar situation before, or is this something you've seen recommended by someone else? You might find [How do I write a good answer?](How do I write a good answer?https://interpersonal.meta.stackexchange.com/q/3266/\) helpful too.

Hey there! You said that this is based on personal experience, can you tell us a little more about this? How was your situation similar to the one OP is facing? Who was involved, what did you said and how did the other person react? Please note that just saying "from my experience" [isn't enough to be considered a valid backup](Please, let's stop with "from my experience" answershttps://interpersonal.meta.stackexchange.com/q/3925/21067\).

Hey there! I know this is an old post but recent activity brought it to attention again.

If you want to change your answer to meet these new guidelines that'd be awesome, otherwise, no hard feelings.
