      Honestly I do this one so often myself ohnoes

      I have a tendency of seeing my conversations like a dialogue tree where I see all the ways what I’m saying could be confusing or upsetting so I’m constantly like softening/qualifying what I’m saying. It’s an attempt to ensure the exact meaning I’m trying to convey gets communicated without causing a distraction though upsetting people, but I’m not sure it works. I’ve been trying to notice these tics more to avoid the extra word count but obviously it’s still a struggle lol

      I'm trying to wrap my brain around this and struggling. I use it as a garnish to make whatever I'm about to say more empathetic, especially if it's going to sound harsh without a little window dressing. I don't understand how you can possibly sprinkle it into virtually every sentence. but I'm also someone who rewrites entire comments if I've backed myself into a corner and have to reuse a word so I probably just have very different kinds of neuroses.

          embrace chaos and obsessively rewrite every sentence until you've removed all the unintentional repetition. or like be normal, or something.
