When communicating online, shorter words can seem harsh or convey meanings you don't expect. Especially when things aren't going well, not only the content but also the way you say it can make a big difference in the outcome.
The same thing is conveyed in different ways
"still? ” and “When is it likely to happen?” ” will change the way the other person feels. Both of you may want to know more about the situation, but short, strong words tend to make it seem like you're being pressured. You should be especially careful when communicating only in text.
Choose a way to proceed
The important thing is not how to win, but how to move forward. While clearly communicating your problem, try to make it easier for the other person to move. Saying things like "I want to fix this" or "I want to decide on this first" will make it easier to take the next action. The way you say it is not only gentleness, but also technique.
Next time you send a request or confirmation, read it once before sending it and think, "Does this make it easier for the other person to respond?"
