Why do people say "you need to do..." instead of "I want you to do..."?
Over the past couple of decades, it seems like I’ve been hearing this more and more. It seems like women use this locution more than men, but I don’t know for sure. In any case, it bothers me. I’ll tell you why later.
Does this bother anyone else? Why do you think people use “need” instead of using “want”?
