Why are you so fat/skinny?

Maybe it's not nice to talk about people's bodies.

You're annoying.

I'm feeling a little overwhelmed right now. Can we take a break?

I already know that. I'm smart.

Thanks, but I think I’ve got this part.

You’re doing it wrong.

Can I show you a different way that might help?

Ugh, this is boring.

This is hard for me to stay focused on—can we try something different?

Hurry up!

Can we try to move a little faster, please?

You talk too much.

Can I have a turn to share my thoughts too?

I don’t care.

That’s not really interesting to me. Can we talk about something else?

You're being so weird.

You're being silly.

I hate you.

I'm really upset right now I need some space.

Leave me alone!

I need some time to myself right now, please.

That’s a dumb idea.

I'm not sure that would work—can we think of other options?

I don’t want to listen to you.

I'm having trouble focusing—can you say that again later?

Stop talking. You're so loud.

Could you please use a quieter voice? It's hard for me to concentrate.
