Have you been Misunderstood?

[KillianK]

People have misunderstood my behaviors in the past. As a child, people thought I was just a prick, but it turned out I had undiagnosed psychological disorders. But because they didn't know, I was bullied constantly as a child. It got so bad that I started attempting suicide before I was even 10 years old. I'm 20 now, and I'm doing ok now. Still, I came that close to dying purely because people did understand that I was built and wired differently.

i am permanently misunderstood

Wow. I like this. I was gonna write this same question with a few more words, a few hours ago, Just couldn't figure out how to ask. So thanks.

Lately, I been getting misunderstood all the time, since like the middle of 2020, I have been going through hell basically. Not comfortable saying why. Also, It's so easy to get misunderstood in messages, and even over the phone, rather than, most times, in person, because I think, in person, that person can actually see emotions- expressions and body language. I get very frustrated.. of coarse. Also.. I get so tired of explaining and repeating myself. Yes, there has been a lot of accusing going on from others. Now, I understand that, sometimes, everyone gets misunderstood. Sometimes, I misunderstand someone and things.

Oh absolutely. It's frustrating when you're trying to be sympathetic to someone's struggle but they end up trying to demonize you because something about what you said just hit them the wrong way. Some people are just angry in general though. I was talking with a woman for a while who I got along with perfectly, but she was this very angry and resentful person. I'm not sure what she had to be so mad about in life; she was a pretty rich girl living in a big city as a yoga instructor, going to school for eastern medicine. She's just an incredibly spiteful person who literally cannot handle being told anything but that she is 1000% correct. It's sad that someone as brilliant as she is cannot see nuance.

What I've seen is that people aren't innocent at all. You're misunderstood because they are stubborn about misunderstanding you. People aren't fools. They know who you are but they will deliberately try to cut off easy preys or even someone who they think is a threat. They use this miscommunication as a WEAPON to bother you. Many even spread rumors about you. IN REALITY, they just wanna get their things done then cover up their wrong doings because they have personal insecurities, jealousy, hiding their guilt and hate seeing you succeeding.

I been talking to this girl from a Penpal site and last night she misunderstood me and she thought I didn't want to talk to her over email well truth is I do want to talk to her and she misunderstood how I responded to a email.. Basically here is what was said
She: Don't you want to talk to me?
Me: Nope I was waiting to hear from you?
She: Well don't you want to talk to me?
Me: Sorry I got poor grammar yes I
do want talk to you
This girl goes all day never emails me
than she misunderstood a story I told her
I ask her if English was her first language
she said yes but I have doubts I told her
when I was younger, my Grand-dad was
a Deputy Sheriff, he took me over to the
Jailhouse where he worked for the County
to meet a convict, this girl misunderstood
and thought I was in jail or prison I said
No, I am not in prison or ever been I don't
know about all this penpal thing?

I have been misunderstood. Primarily by using sarcasm or obviously making a joke about something. I was shocked that some people don’t get sarcasm or take everything as literal truth when it is in jest.

I have since learned that people who are not very smart cannot process sarcasm and given that half the population falls below the average intelligence, that can be a lot of people. so in the end, they think I am serious and I think it is obviously a joke. Now I realize that they are incapable of understanding it.

Happened just recently. Commented on something as a direct quote joke in regards to a question here because of the context.

Needless to say, it was not well received and I was labeled as a trash human being.

[Blindguyplaying]

Whenever I get into an argument with someone they do one of two things 1:they make a shocked and confused face while looking around and laughing to pretend that my point makes no sense. 2: They look around for someone to jump in or seek confirmation. It gets annoying after a while, but simply, yes it happens either they pretend to or they ignorant of the subject.

I'm misunderstood most of the time by my friends, but I'm fine with that usually- It makes for some fun dialogue. I think it would be a very boring world if we understood each other all the time
