   Oh yeah for sure. Also I think MXTX justifies it, in a way.

   She gives her characters specific reasons to be bad at communicating in specific ways and about specific topics. E.g WWX has to smile & hide his pain because childhood trauma. LWJ can't openly express devotion or his mother will be taken away from him.

   She doesn't just make poor communication skills the default human condition.

     @lookitmychicken @Betty @Forestofglory I am SO much more forgiving about lack of communication if there's an actual reason someone would be bad at communicating. There are people who are very bad at communicating for various reasons!

     But as someone who overcommunicates, overexplains, and wants to talk through everything...I can't relate. I'm always yelling, "JUST HAVE ONE CONVERSATION!" at the screen/page.
