"Exactly. But let me ask you. If I want to go to that spot!" I point at a place 30 meters away from us. Is it possible to go in the opposite direction and reach the pointed spot?
The answer is yes, but it will take time. I have to go around the world and come back there. The path is still there!
The same with your abilities. Each Direction leads somewhere. But the uncertainty is substantial or the obstacles are immense.
But forcing yourself to break the wall to achieve your desire, puts strain on you and him.
I think you should plan who will speak based on Positive or Negative. Let's say anyone positive for a month will be the one giving Direction. The Negative will be a passive observer for that month.
The following month you change. The Negative will be the speaker while the Positive is passive."
