I frequently find myself in situations where I have to take what I consider an ordinary thing to say and translate it into phrasing that other people require me to use in order for them to cooperate with me.

I know I write things with harsh or dramatic phrasing on here but that's typically for entertainment value or because I'm venting in a personal space. In a work setting I put a lot of effort into being professional and yet huge extra steps are required on top of that to communicate with a lot of people.

#especially insane when the other party caused a problem yet all reaponsibility to fix it is on me not them #all i need to know is what they did so i can fix it correctly and not make it worse #and they will NOT tell me a damn thing unless i speak in a way that manages to avoid implying they were ever incorrect #and theyre not even in trouble they just have such an intense reaction to any implication of perfection that they cant cope #and so many people are like this and all empathise with the behavior that it becomes normal to speak vague and indirectly #THEN MORE MISCOMMUNICATION HAPPENS BECAUSE NO ONE IS LITERAL AND THIS SHIT ENTERS A FEEDBACK LOOP #this is about having a corporate job when im probably autistic not about identifying with crypto fash freaks btw #anyway often makes me wonder how i should ask questions or if i should even bother seeking input vs working alone
