Davey clearly acted defensively when he was told that he is using the Internet too much. He was showing low emotional intelligence by not understanding or not directing his behavior in a constructive manner. To respond more constructively, he should understand the negative emotion and avoid a counterproductive response by reframing the situation. In this case, Davey can mentally reframe the situation to direct his comments and behavior appropriately. Davey's best possible reframing statement should begin in what way?

In this situation Davey could start his statement by saying:

Ok, I understand this argument bothers me because it would break my habits.

Explanation:

All right, to understand this case we need to observe everything. Davey has developed a dependency or in other words an addiction. To change it we need to make him understand his dependency has changed his life and impacted it negatively. Only then he will understand and accept it, he needs to accept it before making a progress. Then, he will be able to recognize its condition. Then, he needs to understand that the negative emotions he feels are the obstacle to his progress and the break of that habit. So he needs to start his statement by accepting his condition. Then he will reframe it and build from it.
