Original Advice

DO: Ask for clarity instead of reading between lines.

Clarity Over Niceness. Every Time.

Niceness is your alibi. You smooth the edges, then invent a script to fill the silence. Your guesses are flattering, dramatic, and wrong. Assumptions let you feel gracious while you dodge risk. That sweetness wastes time and breeds resentment. Ask the question out loud. Refuse to perform telepathy. Clarity is not rude; it is clean. Name what you need, and watch the room steady.

Reading between lines is a control habit disguised as empathy. You script motives, then punish deviations. Direct questions collapse fantasy and return you to shared reality. Precision frees both sides. It saves you from overgiving, overthinking, overpromising. Ask specifics: timelines, definitions, expectations. Ask what was meant, not what you fear. Let answers rearrange you. Truth is efficient. Efficiency is mercy.
