The four colors explain people so well that now I cannot even look a group text like a normal person. A group text is not communication. It is a personality crime scene. Put a red, green, blue, and yellow in one group chat and watch society struggle. Yellow starts with, good morning everybody. Hope you are having a beautiful day. Green replies four hours later with a spreadsheet. Blue reads the room. Adjusts tone adds a soft ha ha and somehow makes three people feel individually understood. Red says, what is the decision? That is me. I am red. I ruin the emotional warm up. Everybody else is exchanging vibes and I am standing there digitally with a clipboard. Do we have a time? Do we have a location? Who is bringing what? Why are there 17 messages and no answer? That is not in patience. That is mercy with boots. But I get why it annoys people. Red enters a group text like the building is on fire. Sometimes the building is not on fire. Sometimes yellow is just sharing a meme. Green wants clarity. Green is not trying to be difficult. Green needs the facts before committing. If you say, let's meet around evening, green's blood pressure changes. Around evening is not a time that is a weather pattern. Blue is watching everybody. Blue knows red is irritated. Yellow is sensitive. Green is drafting a policy and somebody's aunt is about to send a thumbs up that means war. Blue should be paid for emotional logistics. Yellow wants everyone included. Yellow will ask, is everybody okay with Mexican food? Red says yes. Green says which place? Blue says whatever works. Yellow says I just want everyone happy. Now nobody eats until Thursday. That is the problem. Every color is trying to help, but help looks different. Red helps by deciding. Green helps by checking. Blue helps by adjusting. Yellow helps by caring. And if you do not understand that, you think everybody is attacking you with their normal. That is what I had to learn. My red normal is not everybody's normal. I thought I was being clear. Other people thought I was launching an investigation. I would text need answer by noon. In my head, that means I respect time. In yellow's head, that means why is Jesse Mad at brunch? Now I try to translate. Red can still be direct, but it needs a little handle on it. Instead of need answer, try so I can plan this right. Can you tell me by noon? Same boundary, less police scanner, that is growth, not soft, smart. The four colors are not about labeling people. They are about stopping yourself from turning every difference into a fight. Because most people are not trying to make your life hard. They are trying to feel safe, clear, included or respected. The group text is just where all those needs go to crash into auto correct. So if you want peace, learn the colors. And if you are red like me, remember this. Not every delayed reply is a betrayal. Sometimes people are just typing with feelings.\n\n[THAT WAS ALL JOKES.
