It sounds like threat, as if I have the habit of hitting other people during conversations, and that I will continue to do so if he refuses to pay. I think it would be easier to ask funding if the name was more in line with what organizations nowadays want from their employees, like “connecting”, “inspirational”, “effective”, “harmonious”, “graceful”.

I have some toxic, destructive and aggressive persons around me who get even worse when treated with nonviolent communication (see Trump). Only stopping connection with such people is safe for your own selfrespect ? Nonviolent communication cannot work with some psychopaths at all, people should know that.
On this occasion I just reiterate, that I did not get the last video of the course, and hope you can fix that. Thank you

I love your suggestion, thanks Mirek! Yes Im aware about the subtitles, Youtube doesnt always create them automatically, and to handwrite is very time-consuming, I haven’t decided yet what to do with this..

NBC (need-based communication).

Technical question: I do not see subtitles – is it only my problem or are they omitted? (I do not need them much, but sometimes they are useful.)

What about communicating and showing empathy to toxic family members who constantly criticize you and violate your boundaries
