Yoghurt

Havent these been around for at least a decade? Am I missing something?

Thats not what I was trying to say, I wrote “you implied it doesnt hurt relationships like direct communication” (as in ‘to the same extent’), not unlike direct communication.

You are right, we agree on many points on this matter. My comment was probably unnecessarily mocking. What I was disagreeing with you on was that Neurotypical people generally rely too much on indirect communication. Many people rely on it too much and many people dont use it enough imo.

You didnt say it with those words, but you implied that direct communication doesnt hurt relationships like indirect commumication (or else your argument would make no sense), which I strongly disagree with.

I should probably also clarify how my comment was meant as you evidently take things literally. By sarcastically saying “direct communication hasnt ended relationships” I wasnt saying “your argument is invalid because direct communication also hurts relationships”, I was implying it is worse in that regard, which is the opposite of your argument.

Edit: also to be clear, Im not saying everyone should communicate indirectly. Both ways are valid depending on the situation, there is no single way to communicate correctly. Some people could profit from communicating more directly, others could profit from communicating less directly (I personally know quite a few).

Coz direct communication has never ended relationships? Dont make me laugh
