u wouldnt survive in the eastern culture..

I get where this is coming from, but adults do drop diplomatic hints for all sorts of good reasons. Kids tend to be more direct in my experience. I might mention to someone with wiffy breath that I have just tried a different toothpaste, if it's really bad I go to the more obvious "here, take a mint". A kid is more likely to say "eww your breath stinks" and that is if they are polite.

I don’t really like people like this. If you understand what I’m saying, don’t play dumb just to try to teach me some lesson. I’m probably hinting for a reason. Like maybe I’m uncomfortable, or what I’m hinting at is something that would hurt your feelings if said directly.

I tend to get along well with Dutch and German people. They're not handsy, they fully understand personal boundaries, and they're brutally direct. I'm so in my element with these people. Here in the US, I'm written off as social awkward or aggressive.

not purposely ... I just don't see them. I'm a guy, just say what you want (and remember I have a right to refuse)

Wink wink nudge nudge, say no more!

Don't go into politics.

Good can’t stand vague people, either spit it out or shut up.

THIS!!!!

I do this too. I don't play any of those bullsh!t games where someone is trying to make me guess what they're saying; use your words like a grownup, or go away until you're ready to do just that.

I do this unintentionally as an autistic person and I can assure you most people will not be direct enough soon enough and by then they have usually decided they don’t like you or want to talk to you
