It is great that you point out how manipulative and laborious hedging language can be for those around us. I am learning to speak in a gentle yet firm manner so as to reduce that burden. And full eliminate filler words. Thanks for this video.
Thanks! I do it all the time, by the way, so the video is as much for me as everyone else. We all, generally, want to please and be liked, but often do it at our own detriment, which in turn does not help anyone.
Thank you for pointing it out Andy! I really struggle in this aspect in personal and professional environments and I never thought about it being manipulative

I wouldn’t really frame it as manipulative. It’s more an unintentional outcome of people pleasing.
