is irritated too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI asked what you wanted.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou should know.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI don&#8217;t.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cExactly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Within minutes they are no longer discussing a birthday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They are discussing love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether he cares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether she is being fair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether people who love one another should have to ask.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The original thing she wanted has almost disappeared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Unclaimed Want has entered the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Field Identification<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wanting something makes a person vulnerable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A direct want can receive a direct answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI want you to come with me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI&#8217;d like you to call more often.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI want the window seat.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI&#8217;d like some attention.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That can hurt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So sometimes a want disguises itself before entering the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u201cI want\u2026\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">it becomes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u201cYou should\u2026\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u201cI&#8217;d prefer\u2026\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">it becomes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u201cIt&#8217;s only fair\u2026\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u201cWould you?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">it becomes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u201cAnyone who cared would\u2026\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The desire has not disappeared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It has simply acquired armor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Courtroom<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once a want becomes an argument about obligation, the conversation changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI&#8217;d like you to spend Saturday with me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">is a request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou always choose your friends over this family.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">is a prosecution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first statement gives another person something they can respond to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maybe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Can we do Sunday?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The second asks them to defend their character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now the person who might have happily spent Saturday together is explaining where they were last Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And the Saturday before that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Evidence appears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Old calendars are consulted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Unclaimed Want has successfully converted a request into a trial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Mind-Reading Requirement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes the want remains completely unspoken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A person hopes someone will notice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remember.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Invite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ask.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bring something home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Plan something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sit beside them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nothing happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Disappointment grows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eventually the disappointment itself becomes evidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>If they cared, they would have known.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes people do know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Human beings notice one another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A thoughtful surprise can mean a great deal precisely because nobody had to ask for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But being known is not the same as being perfectly readable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Someone can love you deeply and still fail to correctly infer what you wanted on Thursday afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Telepathy is an unusually demanding standard for affection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Moral Costume<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Unclaimed Want particularly enjoys dressing preference as morality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI want the window open.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">becomes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt&#8217;s stuffy in here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Perhaps it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI&#8217;d rather leave early.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">becomes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere&#8217;s no reason for us to stay.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Perhaps there isn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI don&#8217;t want you talking to that person.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">becomes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou should have more respect for our relationship.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now the want has become difficult to negotiate because disagreeing with the preference appears to mean disagreeing with a moral principle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The other person may still say no.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But now they must apparently become unreasonable in order to do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wants Are Allowed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is nothing shameful about wanting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You are allowed to want company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Quiet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Privacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recognition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A particular restaurant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The comfortable chair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Less responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A day alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Someone to remember your birthday without being reminded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some wants will be beautiful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some selfish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some impractical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some impossible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some contradictory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some will change before lunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A want does not need to become morally correct before you are allowed to acknowledge that it exists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can simply say:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u201cI want this.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That statement does not create an obligation for anyone else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It creates information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Other Side<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Naming the want also protects the person hearing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A request allows sovereignty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWould you come with me?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now I can answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An accusation attempts to determine the answer before I give it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf you cared about me, you&#8217;d come.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now saying no apparently means accepting the identity of someone who does not care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The behavior being requested may be identical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The structure is not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Invitation leaves the door visible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Unclaimed Want tries to hide the door behind judgment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When the Want Is Reasonable<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes the hidden want is extremely reasonable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Someone wants their partner to contribute more around the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Someone wants a coworker to stop interrupting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Someone wants their family to call before arriving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Naming the want does not weaken the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Often it strengthens it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI want you to ask before borrowing my things.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI need you to stop making plans that involve my time without checking with me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI would like us to divide this work differently.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now there is something another person can actually respond to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Clarity is not surrender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Encounter Protocol<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you notice yourself building a large argument about what someone should obviously do, ask:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What do I want?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Strip away the evidence for a moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Strip away what a good partner would do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What a responsible employee would do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What normal people do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What is fair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What everyone knows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There may be an important principle underneath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keep it if there is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But look for the request hiding beside it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Can you say it plainly?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>I want\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>I would like\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Would you be willing\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then allow the other person to actually answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Their answer may disappoint you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That is part of asking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A request that cannot survive the possibility of no was never entirely a request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Field Note<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An unspoken want does not become more legitimate by disguising itself as somebody else&#8217;s duty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Want what you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Examine it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Name it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ask when asking is appropriate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Negotiate when negotiation is possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Accept that another sovereign person may answer differently than you hoped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is considerable strength in being able to say:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u201cNobody owes me agreement simply because I want this. But I am allowed to tell the truth that I want it.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rogue Entity Encounters Common Habitat: Relationships, families, workplaces, negotiations, invitations, favors, shared plans, conflicts over fairnessAppearance: A personal preference presented as necessity, obligation, fairness, common sense, or someone else&#8217;s responsibilityClassification: Relational \/ Communication \/ AgencyDanger Level: ModeratePrimary Effect: Hides a request inside an argument about what another person should already know or doPrimary Defense: Name [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-928","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-rogue-entity-encounters"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.5 -
