When I get scared people will misunderstand, and get hurt and/or hurtful, I either write concisely or verbosely, instead of somewhere in between.
Terse enough that there’s not much text there to misunderstand to begin with, or, verbose enough that I’ve tried to cover a bunch of bases and angles.
(People often misunderstand, regardless. Language is a mess.)
As far as me misunderstanding other people, there’s not much I can do about that. I’m a sloppy reader and a sloppy thinker. That’s just how it is and that won’t change. What I can change, however, is my writing style, which is why I’m on this long road in pursuit of clarity. Long way left to go on that one, but directed effort FTW. 🤷🏻♀️
It’s not that sloppy readers and sloppy thinkers are unable to change. It’s just that being a sloppy reader (probably better known as a relaxed reader) and a sloppy thinker (probably better known as as leveraging intuition and emotion) is the desired state. 💁🏻♀️
