Gosh, communication is so complicated! Clearly I am lacking social skills as, if someone says to me: we should meet for coffee (for instance), I take that as read. Then I wonder why people say things they don't mean, with such frequency. I only say such things if I mean them, and it frustrates me that other people don't. If I didn't really mean exactly what I was saying, I wouldn't say it. I had no idea it was normal to be so obtuse!
Let me know what you think about indirect communication, plausible deniability and double meanings. 💃
How I wish I understood these things when I was younger...
I know, right? Years of trial and error and confusion before I accepted and understood this...

Communication is a tool, like a spoon or a shovel, you can use it in multiple ways for multiple things. Thanks for watching and commenting.
