I don't like people expecting others to 'get the message' from not saying things at all or expect you to be a might reader by INFERRING things and emphasising one thing or another... I like for people to say no I have prejudices against you and don't like you... and even explain because xyz!.... but that I think is why they don't and that is weak... and unconstructive and many things that anyway in the end they might end up saying but with even more emotion...
My tip- say it earlier, like drawing a trajectory if you check it earlier then you're not so off or going into another tangent.
ADD PICTURE OF CHECKING TANGENTIAL LINE LATER!
