        Well, uh full irony of the bluntness intended here:

        Takes one to know one.

        You remind me of… me, just, with friends who aren’t assholes.

        Blunt, yet detailed, as fair as you can be?

        Giving a half answer feels like lying?

        Lying itself is essentially innately not a thing you do, unless you learn how to, by studying it as a concept?

        Ding ding ding.

        Same here. It’s a real barrier at work. Leadership doesn’t like facts. That said, apparently ADHD causes some symptoms that most people consider autistic. A doc told me that when one of my kids who appears autistic was evaluated for it. But it’s all just labels anyway. The symptoms are what matter.

          People in general dislike anything that might inconvenience them, the truth included. Effective communication lies in one’s ability to make them understand despite these emotional barriers (with techniques like the “compliment sandwich”, “I feel” statements or opening with some light jokes, for example). 👍
