<p>There may be times when you're right and the phrase 'I told you already' might feel satisfying to you, dear reader.</p>
<p>However, according to psychologist Dr. Joel Frank, Psy.D, most people dislike this phrase. Because it can be problematic as it comes across as condescending and unhelpful, causing others to feel belittled or disrespected.</p>

<p>Phrase 'Don't be offended, but...'/ Photo: Magnific.com</p>
</div>
<p>Often, the phrase 'Don't be offended, but...' precedes something that is actually offensive, dear reader.</p>
<p>“This can immediately cause others to become defensive, making them less open to your opinion and not giving them time to emotionally prepare to receive feedback,” explains Dr. Vanessa S. Kennedy, Ph.D., director of psychology at Driftwood Recovery.</p>
<p>She added that it's important to consider your intent and the person who will receive the feedback when deciding how to start the conversation.</p>
<p>“For example, if the person is sensitive and introverted, they might feel more comfortable hearing the information one‑on‑one, starting with an explanation of what you intend to say,” she said.</p>
<p>“If the person is unlikely to open up when speaking only with you, you might need to involve a neutral party or a supervisor, if in a work environment,” Dr. Vanessa S. Kennedy, Ph.D. added.</p> </section>

<p>According to Dr. Joel Frank, Psy.D, this expression assumes that others lack the ability or intelligence to understand a concept, which can feel insulting and cause them to feel excluded, dear reader.</p>
