WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“Since you brought up stress, it gives me an opening to finally get this off my chest.”
💡 Cultural Insight: Shuntian Chengche (Seizing the Conversational Opening)

In Chinese pragmatics, bringing up difficult or burdensome news directly can be awkward; speakers often wait for a related topic to naturally segue into their confession to reduce confrontation.
