Typical Reactions with different "ears"
You can often tell the way in which your partner has understood your words by reading their response. Typical examples:
"You have a nice shirt on today."
"Oh, do you think so?"
"Oh, you're very observant."
"I'm glad you noticed."
"I should wear nice things more often, is that it?"
"How much longer do you need for the report?"
"About half a day."
"Oh no, you must already be dying to get it."
"You always think it's so easy. You try writing a report like that."
"I'll hurry so that you have it as quickly as possible."
"For some reason, I'm not in a great mood today."
"It could be because of the gray weather."
"Oh, are you not feeling well?"
"Have I said something to annoy you?"
"Then I'll leave you in peace today."
