| Fair rules are the same for everyone and every situation. I follow the same rules with everyone. Rules are not personal. The more important the rule is, the more direct I will be. To avoid conflict, I’m comfortable telling people if they aren’t following the rules. |
To be fair, rules and obligations change depending on the person, the context and the relationship. I adjust the rules depending on the person. Rules are personal. The more distant, important, or delicate a relationship is, the softer or more indirect I will be. To avoid conflict, I might not say anything if someone breaks a rule. |
