Clearing the air has gone well for me before, but it usually goes poorly.

And a lot of the time the air is foggy because I prefer it that way. I know my supervisor doesn't like me. I don't see it as a problem to solve, for now I want the "movie logic" because it's more comfortable than candor.

Yep. Communication is a two way street. You can find the right words to say and say them all you want but if the receiver doesn't receive the words the way you mean them then it's all for naught.

Further, you cannot control how the receiver receives your words.
