German Cat

Direct · Loud · Over it before they are

Day to day — You do not hint. The true thing gets said, at whatever volume it arrives at, without much time spent filing the edges off. People around you always know where they stand.

Blind spot — You keep making the same mistake: assuming the content is the message. You are finished the moment you have said it, genuinely finished, while the person listening is still holding your tone three days later.

Up close — You are not aggressive, but your volume is aggressive by the time it lands. That difference matters to everyone except you.

At work — You are most useful where somebody has to decide, hold a line, or say the thing plainly. You do most damage where the job is soothing or brokering.
