    I think we’re having a communication issue, where I’m trying to explain how you’re coming off, and you’re trying to explain how you’re right. Being correct doesn’t mean that you presented that correctness in a way that honors your truth, and can have the opposite effect of what you want. I don’t even disagree with what your overall point is, but the way you’ve been wording things until this last comment hasn’t been doing your overall point justice.

        If you’ve been misunderstood, it’s important to know why you’ve been misunderstood, and that involves listening more, not talking more.

          Most people seem to have understood me, and for those who haven’t, I’ve clarified. I am listening, but also responding.

            It’s very hard to tell that you’re listening. Maybe that’s something else you can work on, I’d be happy to provide feedback so you can help people feel heard and included.

              I don’t really like the condescension in your tone, it leads me to believe your advice wouldn’t be very helpful in making people feel heard.
