- photonthug 3y agoI agree, but this can also be tactical since for whatever reason it's rare in certain cultures that quiet humility is listened to. Also confidence or bluntness may be easily mistaken for arrogance. IDK about Kay but lots of Americans who think they like a "straight shooter" are still unprepared for a Dutch-style discussion
