Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The "feel bad; do good" idea involves reminding the person of a negative experience or feeling and then offering a way for them to turn it around by doing something positive, such as donating to a charitable cause. Reminding Alexandria of the last time she let you down could activate this idea and motivate her to help. However, it's important to approach this tactic with sensitivity and not use it in a manipulative way.
