Are you a straight talker or a waffler?

Are you good at reading between the lines and/or picking up signals?

Both. It's situational.

Directed at others? Great. At me? Not always the best. Far from it.:D

I’m generally very accurate at picking up signals and reading between the lines. I call it a survival skill.

I waffle when I’m stressed or upset.

I'm a straight talker but in a nice way I think. I'm very good at reading in between lines that's why fab was always a success for me

Oh I waffle for England. Although I can also be very blunt and upset people. I’m terrible at reading cues to the point I think I may occasionally guest on the spectrum.

I'm terrible at reading cues also. I have in the past read too much into it and not enough.

I prefer to be told straight, and then I know where I stand.

Depends on the scenario I think. Professionally - yes.

Personally - sometimes. Obviously not earlier today though

I have known to waffle when I'm stressed. And I can waffle when I'm in the company of someone I fancy. definitely blown that date 🤷‍♀️

I prefer this too, right up to the point someone is brutal and that echoes through my brain for weeks. I can have emotional detachment when I’m doling it out but am a lot more sensitive when I’m on the other side. I find it difficult to strike a balance.

I would say I’m probably more of a waffler, Hubby is definitely more of a straight talker.

Hubby is quite good at reading between the lines, I’m good at picking up signals.

I think we make a great team 😊

Definitely a straight talker, sometimes at the expense of tact (not at that of manners, though).

Decent at reading between the lines, terrible at picking up signals.

With someone I know, direct and blunt.

With a stranger, indirect and circumspect.

.

Albert Mehrabian broke down the components of communication and found that

.

55% of communication is non-verbal (body language).

38% vocal(intonation).

7% words only (actual words themselves).

I'm not good with the 38%, so I focus on the 55% and the 7% especially.

.

I probably expend 80-90% of my effort on the words (7%) and 8-9% effort on the 55% (body language).

1% on the intonation if I fancy driving myself crazy.

.

If you intoned something was mega super urgent, I would not translate that intonation.

.

If you told me, I would get it right away.

If you stood there wringing your hands, I'd most likely notice, but not associate the anxiety with urgency. Probably something else. Like needing the loo.

Clear and blunt, but never rude with it.

I only waffle when I'm deprived of adult conversation...
