If Xavier is considering commenting that his friend looks tired, he might answer "yes" to the following THINK criteria questions:

  • Is it true?: If Xavier genuinely believes his friend looks tired based on her appearance in the photo, this could be a truthful observation.

However, he may struggle to answer "yes" to the other criteria:

  • Is it helpful?: Commenting on someone looking tired may not be seen as helpful, especially if it does not provide any constructive feedback or support.

  • Is it kind?: Commenting on someone looking tired could be perceived as unkind or insensitive.

  • Is it necessary?: It's unlikely that this comment is necessary for any reason.

In summary, the only "yes" he might honestly give could be to "Is it true?"

are you sure that is right

Let's reevaluate the THINK questions Xavier might consider before commenting on his friend's photo.

Here are the questions again:

  • Is it helpful?
  • Is it true?
  • Is it kind?
  • Is it necessary?

When considering these questions:

  1. Is it helpful?: Likely a "no." Commenting that she looks tired may not provide support or improve the situation.

  2. Is it true?: If Xavier believes his friend genuinely appears tired in the photo, this could be a "yes."

  3. Is it kind?: Typically, this would be a "no." Commenting on someone looking tired can be hurtful or insensitive.

  4. Is it necessary?: This would likely be a "no." There’s no urgent need to point out how someone looks in a casual photo.

So, in conclusion, if Xavier believes the observation to be accurate, he might say "yes" to "Is it true?" but not to the other questions. Thank you for prompting a closer look!
