Hmm, I know it's frowned upon generally to say one culture is better than another, but I grew up in guess culture and I tend to gravitate towards that naturally, but a lot of my maturing as an adult has come from adopting more of ask culture and being more direct.

Guess culture sounds exhausting because it is. I can't count the number of times I've had a resentment towards someone for something they inadvertently did without even realizing. And the converse is just as annoying, when someone is upset at you and you have to play 20 questions to figure it out.

I think if you're high in agreeableness saying no to someone can be hard, which is where guess culture comes from IMO; but on the other hand, that's just a super important life skill even if you are highly agreeable.
