low context all the way. it's a bad habit but if someone doesn't communicate their needs I don't spiral trying to figure out what the signs are

High context here. it's very frustrating having to ask or explain the most obvious things. At work, this makes me tear my hair. 😬

Low—assume nothing, clarify everything

I feel this is more of a personality trait, rather than a whole culture, because I encounter both types everywhere.

I believe I'm coming from a high context culture but the way people act/feel now makes guessing hard, so I prefer asking questions

as a kenyan american, i think sometimes i switch dep. on who im with/where i am, since my 2 cultural backgrounds are on opposite ends of the spectrum

Sadly I have to learn to be both and unfortunately yeah it’s been taking a long time to bridge those two gaps

my thing with high context culture is it leaves too much ambiguity. "im cold" okay do you want a jacket? soup? set the house on fire? There are multiple solutions to most issues so how am I supposed to just know which one you want

This was my first explanation of the terminology and it's really interesting, and very well explained. Thank you.

What is Canada then? A very individualistic and diverse country where everything’s said carefully and around the bushes so people don’t take it wrong

I think I am a mix of both of them because I am Peruvian but I used to live in the USA...I don't know how to manage, bc I don't know how to read high communication, I am more direct...

High, because I will frequently ask, who raised you? How can you not know that.😊😊

I’ve been doing culture CBT’s at work and I had to come onto TikTok to see if other people knew about this.. this info MIGHT help me change my life and relationships. Wish I knew this sooner. I didn’t realize some people were so passive with the way they communicate
