If you are short and distant she will do the same to you. She's copying your behaviour.

Whats your thought on this? To me it makes sense.


A lot of us kept it short because a WAS lies and gaslights a lot. So it can be stressful to truly communicate with them.

If it is a db coach I would seriously consider the advise because they are familiar with these situations.
