The rule

A developer should acknowledge a user's negative feelings about a task.

This builds trust. It shows the developer understands the user's real problems. This approach makes the user open to new solutions.

First, tell the user it is okay to dislike the task. Many people feel the same way. This makes the user feel understood. It shows the developer is on the user's side. Next, describe the bad feelings the user has. Use clear words for these feelings. This shows the developer truly understands the user's experience. It helps the user feel less alone. Then, explain why the user might feel this way. Connect the task to bigger, common fears. This helps the user see the problem differently. It makes the solution seem more important.

A developer creates a tool for public speaking. Many students fear public speaking. The developer's tool starts by saying, 'It's normal to hate public speaking. Many people feel nervous.' This makes students trust the tool. They are more likely to try its advice.
