Summarise a Long Emotional Message Before You Reply to the Wrong Part

Six paragraphs arrive and your thumb is already hovering over the one sentence that annoyed you. Reply to that and you will be having the wrong argument by lunchtime. This pulls out what they are feeling, what they are actually asking, and the line that matters, so your reply lands on the point instead of the shrapnel.

<context>
You have received a long, emotional message from a partner, friend, or family member. Before replying, you want to be sure you understand what it is actually saying, because replying to the wrong part makes things worse.

<task>
**Summarise** the message in three parts: what they are feeling, what they are actually asking for (which may not be stated), and the one line that matters most. Then flag anything you might be tempted to reply to first that is not the real point.
