My Yes is a Yes. My No is a No.

Integrity shines in clarity. Speak with truth, simplicity, and conviction.

I suffer a terrible ailment inherited from my British upbringing. It's hedging: the avoidance of commitment to an answer or "negative politeness". My speech was full of maybe's, perhaps, I think, and anything that would avoid any potential offence or stated opinion.

Most Brits will call it British reserve, or polite indirectness. My wife called it annoying.

“A simple ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ will suffice. Anything beyond this springs from a deceiver.”
Matthew 5:37 TPT
