Hi, I am Richard. On this blog, I share thoughts, personal stories — and what I am working on. I hope this article brings you some value.
Navigating the nuances of interpersonal interactions has never been my strong suit. Admittedly, I have improved over time. There were instances in the past when it took me a month, or even longer, to recognise that I might have misinterpreted a situation unless someone pointed it out. Nowadays, I often realise such misinterpretations within hours, giving me a chance to rectify them.
Yet, it remains an ongoing struggle for me. That is why I hold one particular human quality in high esteem.
To me, many commonly used signals and subtle indications feel like riddles. Therefore, I plead:
If it is a yes or no, say it. If you want something, voice it. If you hold any reservations about me, please express them. If I have acted inappropriately, let me know. Whether you wish to spend time with me or not, be direct about it. If you feel any affinity or dislike, clarify it. We are not all adept at reading between the lines; some of us genuinely need directness.
If you have any thoughts, questions, or feedback, feel free to drop me a message at mail@richardgolian.com.
