@mindfuldrpaula: Can confirm, this does not go well. So why do we do it? Perhaps this is how a parent/caregiver communicated to you growing up, you were expected to guess & predict their moods. Or maybe you were taught it’s not ok to express needs so you’re trying to express WITHOUT explicitly saying them. Or maybe you learned conflict is bad & you should avoid it. But conflict is healthy, and if communicating directly leads to conflict that’s ok, you can resolve it & grow together. Do you have trouble being direct when someone upsets you?
