Communication is in the Clarity
Leave no room for misunderstanding….
Some might find it overkill, but I’d typically rather say too much than too little.
I’d rather say all that needs to be said, so people have few questions after and it eliminates a lot of unnecessary back-and-forth just to get my point. I always try to think about what questions might arise for someone and anticipate that in advance.
And likewise, I prefer for people to communicate with me with depth and clarity, leaving little room for wondering or misunderstanding.
I love the clear energy such interactions provide. I also really dislike having to pull information out of people.

I like clear communication and I feel frustrated when people don’t say what they need to in a concrete way.
One very recent habit I’ve gotten into is clarifying if I don’t understand what someone is trying to share by asking: “What would you like me to receive or take from this?”
This prevents me from presuming or assuming (especially if it is potentially triggering), allows me to gain the clarity and understanding I need, and allows the other person to feel heard/seen/understood in the way they need to.
