English term or phrase: summarizing self syndrome
'In the heat of an argument, we engage in what psychologist John Gottman has called the “summarizing self syndrome.” We restate our own positions or we state them somewhat differently, and then we summarize all that we have said. As we listen to ourselves making repeated arguments in favor of our own views, we become more and more convinced of the correctness
of those views.' A. Christensen 'Reconcilable differences'

The Summarizing Self Syndrome - A problem seen repeatedly with couples is that ****each person continues restating his or her own position***. It's as if they each think "If only she/he would see how logical my point is and how much sense it makes to see things the way I see them, we wouldn't have any problems." Each person is so sure they are right that they both think it's a waste of time to try to hear and understand the other person's viewpoint. "What's the use of listening to that old, stupid, wrong, idiotic, pigheaded, stubborn point of view my spouse has?" An so neither person really listens. They both just restate again and again. And they both feel frustrated, not listened to, not respected, put down, and lonely.
