Maybe is definitely my goto soft "no" word! It means I probably have some doubts and need to think about it a bit more. Then if you have doubts and don't trust your gut feeling, it usually can end up bad. So therefore I agree, that maybe is usually always no.
The last 2 years have shown us how hard it is for people to say no. Especially to people who supposedly claim authority over us.
Agree 😉
