The thought of things being either black or white some people do not understand. Most times they feel like they need a grey in between to make sense of certain ideas. Why can’t things just be a yes or no and not include a maybe? I feel like having that middle sometimes doesn’t work for EVERY situation. I feel that people try to make the “middle” work for everything when it shouldn’t. I say this because certain things in my life I’ve noticed it’s less of a maybe and more of a direct yes or no. People seem to get offended by that.

Maybe it can go either way for any situation but if I feel I am interested or not interested then it will get a yes or no answer. I had this discussion with my brother about things being black or white and how people need to be direct with us. Black and white in a sense of being direct with responses or how things will transpire. Being undecided is also a response that I don’t consider grey only because you haven’t given something enough thought to provide a valid response. 

I am also black and white with friendships/relationships. We are either friends or not. We are either going to work on our friendship/relationship or not. It’s not a sometimes type of thing. You are either all in or all out. Don’t dip your pinky toe in and be unsure if you want to put the rest of your foot in. This is a deeper discussion though. What are your thoughts on black or white, yes or no and just being direct?
