What drives me insane, is when you tell someone something… you explain it. They just say “Yeah I know.” Even though they really clearly didn’t understand. Then they need it explained again..
Likewise I am sick of people getting ‘annoyed’ by being told something ‘they already know’.
I don’t live inside your fucking brain. You might know. Next person might not. Don’t snap at me for your impatience.
I over-explain because I feel like if it were being explained to me, I would want all that extra context.
I somehow managed to get pretty good at getting a good feeling of "did this person understood what I want them to understand?" and I adapt my level of overexplaining based on that feeling.
It's something I wish other people did to me as well, as I hate it when people keep talking more to make the same point I already got. Tbh sometimes I even wish people would stop mid-sentence if I already autocompleted their sentence in my head.
Audio communication is too slow. If Humans can't evolve to communicate telepathically, language itself should evolve to account for this. Here's what I propose:
Surely this is bound to improve communication for everyone and would have no downsides whatsoever.

You gotta give body cues; turn away slightly, start to walk adjacent, nod non-commitally, and then wave farewell
