Do you have any advice?

Perhaps a good way to deal with this is to be assertive, and ask for what you need: a clear answer.
Try something like, "I'm trying to make sure I understand you, what I think I heard you say was......(restate what your heard).........., am I correct?"
If they won't clarify their answer, they probably mean no, and are having difficulty saying it.

I have found that it is best to take a yes or a no at face value rather than try to interpet your perception of anothers true meaning. If you continue to question a persons true meaning then maybe its time to openly discuss the difficulties with the very people whoconfuse you. Good luck!

i think it depends on the situation if u are talking about a friend i think with time u can get used with that but with people (parents, teachers work friends and others) i think from their treatment of the situation u can determine means that if they were angry or happy their face or actions can tell no for something or yes
anyway i think it depends upon whom u are talking to and the situation and u relation to those people all can determine and i think with time u can get use with that .. good luck

ask them what they mean and tell them that you're a very direct person and don't favor indirect answers.
