And not everything I say is sarcasm.

Gosh, I never even considered or thought about the overcompensation.

That makes complete sense that if you're feeling uncomfortable in a language and feel uncomfortable about how you're coming across, direct or arrogant or whatever, that you would

Yeah.

Yeah, and I can start with myself.

I'm absolutely guilty.

will it doesn't matter it doesn't even matter who the conversation is with you know it's something that I've learned and has been reinforced over the years that when I have a conversation with somebody and then I go away and I relive that conversation could be with a friend right not just a colleague um you know like how much you know whether I said something that was a little

off in some way.

Maybe it was judging them or being a bit too direct.

Being British, of course, that's an important thing for me.

And then I ruminate on it.

You know, I think, well, maybe I should have, maybe I should apologize, blah, blah, blah.

And there, I have to say, Louise, I've done that.

I've called up a friend and said, I'm really sorry.

I didn't mean to say it like that or I didn't mean to do that because, because what I meant was, and they were like, what are you talking about?

Yeah.

And I have spent a week, like, like,

talking myself down from a ledge like no maybe I should just just get on the phone and apologize and and it still happens to me I haven't stopped doing that because you know the there is a part of it which is about people pleasing right you don't want to upset people you don't want to hurt people it's about not um not causing suffering in others yeah and and so um

And so when you put that into a work situation, and I've noticed this with a lot of my clients, is that if you feel like, so with difficult conversations, for example, a lot of women will just, will go into that conversation with the idea that they're going to be straight.

They're going to do this and, you know, the conversation has to be had.
