Hi, as the the title says. Im searching for a book that'll help me reduce my directness and help improve my conversational skills
Background:
Im pretty sure im slightly on the spectrum. At the age of 34 ive only just learned that people soften and word conversations to allow more open endedness and allow a natural flow which has honestly blown my mind. I feel like i never have much to say, as i tend to go directly to the point, in complete disregard to how it comes across.
Ive recently learn't about adding niceities, reducing heavyness, not speaking in firm statements and softening up sentences to come across as more natural and allow for a better flow of conversation
For example i was recently chasing up a garage, that owed me money for a car i sold. My email to them was-
Hi,
I have still not recieved the money, when will i recieve it? Thanks
I wouldnt even know how to formalise this, it doesnt come naturally to me what so ever
