Paying particular attention to behaviors, interpret the behavior keeping a few ideas in mind, and clarifying them with the other person can help with clarification (Adler & Proctor, 2015, p. 123). In cases such as these, it helps to avoid conflict, retaining one’s dignity, and avoiding the added tension of not knowing, a face-saving technique (Adler & Proctor, 2015, p.126). I find many times it may be hard to read people like a lady crocheting but in turn, hesitates when asked if she enjoys doing that in her free time. Helping to request for clarification to find she is trying her hand at something
