I returned home after four months. I couldn't drop my bag off. Mom gave me a big hug. My face was covered by mom’s clothes, and I had been feeling safe and pleasant with her unique smell.

I left my home when I was in 7th grade for study purposes. I used to come home mostly once every  3 or 4 months.

However, I knew her next words to me!

Oh, my boy !! you are more skinny than before! Don't you eat enough? You look sick!!

Although I gained two kg.

Mom, please stop saying this!! Let's measure my weight!! Therefore  I must do that to make her calm!! 

After 6 months, when I returned my weight increased by 3 kg more.

But my mom asked me the same question again.

Can you guess what was the communication style between my mom and me? Supportive? Analytical? Direct? Or initiative?  

Ans:  There are two communication styles: Mom to me and me to mom.

1. Mom was Direct to me. She used emotion and force to convince me. 

2. But I was Analytical to her. Because I was saying. Mom look at me! I have gained 2kg/3kg, Let's measure.

that means I was Precise, Exact, Logical, Organised. Diplomatic….. but not emotional like mom. I focused on data, avoid talking unnecessary words.

Moreover, I was diplomatic ... I was not sure whether it was 2kg but I said to make her calm.
