Are you often misunderstood?

Question

How do u prevent misunderstanding?

Answer 1

i'm always misunderstood by people who dont know me very well

i think u have to sit and talk with me for awhile like a lng time to fully understand who i am and what im like

i say alot of things and do many things that get misunderstood

if i knew how to prevent misunderstanding id help myself lol, now i just try to keep a low profile around people who tend to misunderstand me...

Answer 2

yep i am sometimes.. the thing is i can't say what's on my mind.. i can't put my feelings and thoughts into words.. so it makes complete sense in my head, but when it's coming out in words.. it's useless and misunderstood.. how do i prevent it? i stay quiet most times :)

Answer 3

Oh My Yes, even though I don't want to be.  It makes total sense in my mind but I have to explain or re-explain what I am trying to convey.  I am working on it and soon I will not be as often misunderstood!

Answer 4

im so like Naomi, i can't express myself in a good way

so i shut my mouth most of the times especially when im nervous and angry

Answer 5

Hmm.. as they say 'never judge a book by its cover'.

I am usually miss understood as a proud man... but its the way round when they come to know me personally. One reason could be that I talk little or to the point and the other could be the appearance.

How to handle it: probably talk more and look more casual....

Answer 6

I don't think so because I try to be as clear as possible, I am a straight forward person and when you are like that you cannot be missunderstood

Answer 7

you can't prevent it.  It could happen at any time.  All you can do is minimize it.   And I try to be as true to people as possible.  If I do sense they misunderstand me, it is up to me to correct that and be bold.  

Answer 8

Yes...it's the story of my life !  I suffer badly from foot in mouth disease !

Answer 9
