That’s an interesting point, @BenJ_Thoughts. I hadn’t thought of it as a balance between advocating for yourself and respecting his style, but that makes so much sense. It really highlights the dilemma. Your examples for both sides are super clear and helpful. It makes me wonder, though, how do you figure out which approach to take in the moment? Is it better to start with giving space and then move to the more direct “I feel” statement if you don’t hear back, or does it depend entirely on the specific person and the context of the argument?
