Two Kinds of People

Recent and long past experience has shaped this theory of mine. There are two kinds of people in this world. Call them A and B.
Kind A: Frank and direct in his everyday dealings. He doesn't think twice before opening his mouth and letting his thoughts pour out. If you hurt A, A tells you so. And also clearly tells you what exactly hurt him. He expects similar behavior from you. It baffles him why when he hurts you, you don't tell him clearly what he did that bothers you so, but instead you treat him cold.

Kind B: Diplomat. She thinks her words aloud in her mind, before uttering them. She imagines the expression those words would produce on your face. She thinks how she would feel if the words were spoken to her. Would she feel hurt? If yes...she rephrases, restrings her words, her sentences until technicaly they convey the truth, but don't hurt. She expects others to weigh their words similarly. Also, she never tells you if you hurt her. Instead she expects you to know! Having to tell it to you herself is adding insult to injury! She wouldn't tell you what you should do to please her, she expects you to infer from observation, just like she does. Asking kills the pleasure! So it is beyond her understanding how you could not think before you speak. How you could not know you hurt her!

And if you are a kind apart like me (the Kind C, C for 'Chameleon') you act as a Roman with a Roman...whether you are in Rome is of no consequence.
