Left-centered or straightforward.
You already know this..
With regards to communication, there’s only two ways to do it. Only two.
You can either be straightforward, or you can be left-centred.
Pros of being straightforward:
It saves time- both your’s and everyone else’s.
It helps you spell out your wants and needs.
If you’re into showing how passionate you are about something, being straight-forward is probably the way to go.
Cons of being straightforward:
There’s only ever the thinnest fine line between being passionate and being angry, cruel or pushy.
If its a touchy subject, you risk hurting relationships with your straightforwardness.
Pros of being left-centred:
It’s a good approach for touchy subjects. ( It makes sense to get the dry leaves out before you light the campfire. Otherwise the campfire turns into a bushfire.)
You can keep it “light and polite”
Cons of being left-centred:
You always got to think about and craft the fluff
Never enough time to be left-centred.
