Subtext 標出的地方
- Overpromise
- "we'll do whatever you want next time" is a big promise you may not want to keep.
- Validation seeking
- "please don't hate me" asks the other person to reassure you instead of just hearing the news.
- Clarity
- There is no reason given, so the cancellation may feel vague.
- Guilt
- You feel bad about cancelling and worry the other person will be upset with you.
Cancelling plans is never fun, and it's clear you care about this person. Here are a few ways to say it kindly.
