Add to it a couple of terms of the form $\pm\langle Tw,w\rangle$ so that the result is $\langle Tu,v\rangle+\langle Tv,u\rangle$. Similarly, consider $-i\langle T(iu+v),iu+v\rangle$. Add to it a couple of terms of the form $\pm i\langle Tw,w\rangle$ so that the result is $\langle Tu,v\rangle-\langle Tv,u)\rangle$.

The idea is to prove that $\langle Tu,v\rangle+\langle Tv,u\rangle=0$ and similarly for the difference. I was suggesting first expressing $\langle Tu,v\rangle+\langle Tv,u\rangle$ as a sum of terms of the form $\langle Tw,w\rangle$ that works always and only then using the fact that $\langle Tw,w\rangle=0$. Thanks from Sandra93
