Adam and Sam are going out for dinner. Adam asks Sam what she wants to eat. Sam thinks in her head that she wants Chinese food but tells Adam that he can choose. Adam chooses Mexican. This makes Sam angry, because she really wanted Chinese food, but she doesn’t tell Adam that. She just continues to pretend that everything is fine. After dinner, Sam sends a text to her friends saying that she just went on the worst date ever and that no one should go out with Adam, because he will force you to go places you don’t want to go. What type of communication style is Sam using in this scenario?
