There are different kinds of “yes” you can get from people.
Sometimes “yes” means “Alright FINE!”. Sometimes “yes” means “OK, but if this backfires I’ll say I told you so”. Sometimes “yes” means “You kind’a understand what I’m saying but not 100%”. Sometimes “yes” means “YES!!! You understand me!” Or “YES! I’m really excited about this!”
It’s worth deciding beforehand what type of yes you’re going for. The latter ones take a lot more time and effort than the former ones.
