You cringed, didn’t you?
Because nothing good
ever followed
“With all due respect.”
“This is usually
followed by
something negative
or a point of disagreement.
Again, does this imply
you weren’t showing
the other person respect
in the previous part
of the conversation?”
Like
“To tell the truth”
or
“Honestly”,
“With all due respect”
should be banished from your vocabulary.
Everyone is super busy.
You only have so many words
to make an impact
on another person.
Make them count.
