Are you direct?

[RainyDaysandCoffee]

Are you direct in asking for what you want/ telling someone what you want?
Or
Do you give hints in hope that someone recognizes them and gives you want you want?

Basically I'm asking , are you direct or do you play games? And be honest here.

I'm fairly direct but also tactful so I try to be sensitive and direct simultaneously. That might seem like a bit of a contradiction and sometimes it's a bit of a balancing act.

For example, say I don't like something that my wife cooks. Then instead of bluntly saying that I don't like it, I'll start by saying what I do like about it and then suggest that it might be better if we added this, or tweaked that, and then I try to make it myself the next time and show her the difference.

[HighlyVolatile]

As in the above example, I'm not hinting at anything. I am being very direct about what I want. But I'm also trying to be sensitive and protecting the other person's feelings.

I'm very direct. If it's on my mind, I say it, no matter how awkward or off-putting it may be. I'd rather say what's on my mind than regret in the future.
