Interpreting Non-Answers

🗣️ Remember: Someone NOT reassuring you IS an answer!

  • Somebody not giving a direct answer is an answer.
  • Somebody refusing to answer is an answer.

⛔️ STOP dismissing these non-answers and making excuses for them.

✅ INSTEAD: Recognize that their inability to give a simple answer tells you everything you need to know. ➡️ Trust your gut. Look at their behavior, or lack thereof, as their most honest answer. Then, act accordingly.

Extracting little admissions is key. These breadcrumbs of information paint a picture. You don't need a full confession; small clues reveal the truth. 🕵️

Call to action: Look for non-verbal cues and trust your intuition when someone avoids giving a straight answer.
