[quote=Anonymous]I agree w/ the neurodivergence possibility. Sometimes it's easiest, best, and most effective to simple be direct. Hey Jane, when you give me advice you often use the words "need" and "should". It makes me feel like you're telling me what to do, or like you think I haven't thought of such basic things. I'm sure that isn't your intent. I really think that if you didn't use those words I could handle it better. And actually, I could also just tell you when I want advice versus when I want you to just listen. Would that help? You might be surprised by her welcoming such directness. I have had that exact experience w/ people. If they don't understand social nuances well enough to adjust their thinking they may actually appreciate direct requests on how to adjust language.[/quote]
