i just got into an argument & realized that i really struggle to communicate with detail oriented people - a thread

i’m a big picture person in everything i do & i make sense of things by being able to connect them back to a bigger “why” or concept

whenever i need clarification at work for ex, i usually ask for the end goal / maybe an outline instead of specific steps

i think part of my big picture thinking has to do with my add. i can’t rely on details to get by bc i miss them a lot. but a concept? i can always work backwards from that

it makes me argumentative bc i always go back to principle & am shook when ppl are caught up in details. the only time i worry about details is if i’m anxious

i just really didn’t like how that chat ended (it’s a repetitive one) bc i felt like i was having to lay out my values while they were stuck on a sentence

big picture people can you relate
