A bunch of us went to a restaurant and the staff told us to wait in the bar. So I was sitting at the bar with one of the girls in the group.
The bartender asked us if we would like to order something, and I said “no,” which might have been an odd response for the bartender coz people in a bar order drinks. After my one-word response, the girl elaborated that we had been told to wait in the bar. That reminded me how I under-communicate so often and how it negatively impacts my life. And while I am not an asshole, how many short replies can appear curt and make me look like one. While I am aware of this, I have to learn this lesson repeatedly.
Still a work in progress…
