Sometimes I will start a conversation, realise immediately that my words are being taken in bad faith rather than with the genuineness I am trying to convey, and decide I do not have the energy to attempt to rectify that. So I simply leave the conversation. I hate being misunderstood, but I can't even be bothered to do my usual trick of overexplaining. Sigh. #vagueposting

αβα this is sooooo fair i fear im often misunderstood i rarely mean what i say negatively and when i do mean something to be offensive you would know bexause i fumble over myself to xonvey my rage its not always worth the energy to fix every single misunderstanding
Indeed. I also am misunderstood often, as I struggle to convey tone over text. Or in general. But sometimes even before the conversation truly starts you just realise that whatever you say will be read as if your intentions are bad, and... Well, I have been trying to learn to walk away from those, even if my whole pan screams at me that if I just explain enough it'll all make sense to everyone. I know that's not how it works...

αβα some people never want to understand its unfortunate but true dot dot dot
Indeed. Or they already have opinions so dead set they refuse to believe anyone could oppose those without malice in their hearts.

wish i had that foresight. would saved me a 6unCha 6ullshit a Couple weeks 6aCk.
Unfortunately, I often also fail to notice or to hold back until it's far too late. Thankfully, I caught myself this time. It is a process. I believe in us both.

Can't learn without some slip-ups. we got this.
Certainly. We can do it. Only time will tell but I'm sure we can figure it out.
