Being on the fence is, at least to me, inherently about hesitation or uncertainty: it’s about not daring or not having the confidence to choose one side over another. Essentially, it makes you undecided. The kind of person we’re looking for here is someone who has weighed the available options and is decided, but on a middle ground that rejects both extreme options. | |
