Inspired by Sameer’s post and after witnessing his grumbles, I need your opinions on this. Why do you think people can’t talk it out straight? Why do they have a gray to each of their answers (in case they chose to address your questions)? How does it help them being ambiguous, vague, tame, colorless and irresolute? Well… some points that I can think of are -
1. They actually take false pride in that ambiguity by thinking that it gives them all that ‘importance’.
2. They fear offending the other person by saying something that one would not like to hear.
3. They really are that vague by nature!
4. They don’t know what to say.
Will add more to the list when I can think of them… till then you tell me what do you think!
- they dont want to sound too judgemental
- they dont want to take the risk of being on one side or the other
- vagueness today = none can blame you with the benefit of 6/6 vision of hindsight
- things are usually more that they appear, if you know it, realize it, then you cannt help but being vague!
more if work allows some time today…
cheers!
Hmm…Well thought!
