It's interesting how a simple "no" can reveal so much about the other person. When ego speaks louder than common sense, even silence becomes an accusation, and respect becomes a threat. Yes, I like to observe who I'm talking to (and this is nothing new) and I believe that this contributes to a more fluid, more real conversation. It's not surveillance, it's attention. And if this simple choice sparks conspiracy theories, maybe the problem isn't exactly with me. It's always curious when someone confuses autonomy with provocation. But I understand that for some people it's easier to doubt the integrity of others than to deal with the discomfort of not being the center of decisions. Being accused, even if insinuated, of practices such as improper recording is extremely serious and unacceptable. I would never use any dishonest or threatening means to keep someone in my room. I don't need that and my stance speaks for itself. Those who stay, stay of their own free will. For the aforementioned: Not everything you want can be achieved... thank goodness! 🙌
