Nessa213 I don't constantly deal with people who think in black and white, but enough to understand them. I know they won't understand things are in shades of gray. It's hard for me to explain it to them because the people I know can't get their brain to understand.

Sometimes I have to talk a certain way so I don't have explain what I said more than once. I have gotten so good at one point, it came naturally without any sensation of talking down to them. But it's hard. I had to make adjustments in my technique without being obvious.

It's hard to not be myself in situations like that because it is a part of me that is creative, fun side of things that puts spice in things.

Like your reference to shades of grey to black and white, I sometimes feel the reference to colour as the rainbow versus black and white.

Somewhere it has been said that the playful part of a person comes from the creative side of human beings. I agree with that.

Sorry, if I could not come up with more helpful advice.
