1 assess them
2 taken the idea much too seriously
3 don't ignore the kind of behaviour that forces people to change things to make an improvement (withholding affection and exclusion being the examples of this)
4 Look at the context in which unexpected things occur
5 keep probing until the truth emrges. The person may not know what makes them feel bad
