@ScriptFanix somewhat? When I've used metacommunication like 'hey I'm about to say something and it's not meant as an insult, I'm curious because of <reason> so I'd appreciate it if you could interpret it that way...', I get told I shouldn't worry so much, that it's cool, nobody assumes malice. Then I don't use it, because I'm engaged and have been made to feel safe and suddenly saying the same thing I was told needed no softening was completely wrong

Some times I can even see why something might be interpreted as snide or aggressive - but have no alternative words to use to express it.
