The prompt

Tone

I want to understand what it’s like to deal with me, from the seat of . Ask me up to six questions, one at a time, about how we usually interact: a recent good moment, a recent tense one, what I ask of them, and what they’ve stopped bringing up. Then write a fair description of me from their side, in under 150 words: what’s easy about me, what’s hard, and what they have probably stopped telling me. You only have my version, so mark each line as based on what I described or as a guess. End with one question I could ask them to find out if you’re right. Don’t take my side. Be direct. No padding and no reassurance I did not ask for.
