Misunderstood

Are you, or do you know people that are easily misunderstood by people that don't know them?

I'm having a hard time putting my thoughts into words for this thread....

but what do you think it is that makes some people more misunderstood then others? (this is assuming said person is not trying to be misunderstood)

 

Misunderstood as in can't talk right, or as their intention and attitude is often misunderstood?

 

my family, friends and co-workes tell me i speak "boogabaah" sometimes..


guess i do

 

i guess i mean more intentions/attitude....

like someone that appears to be mean or a snob or something but is really just quiet, shy, more introspective.... or someone that just talks in a certain tone normally that people mistake...things like that.

 

Misunderstanding derives from shallowness. People tend to judge others upon their outer exteriors (their looks, what they do, how they talk, etc.) and of course, that does not at all justify how someone really is.

 

yeah i totally agree. the judgements im thinking of are all before you get to know "said person"..... just kind of assuming- for example- "so and so talks in a 'matter of fact' voice at work and isnt all giggly and loud like us, so they must be a bitch"

arrr, yes, i do have a specific example in my mind... a reason i wrote this thread but i dont feel like getting into it

 

She knows she's more then just a little misunderstood...

she has trouble acting normal and she's nervous...round here we stay up very very late. Around here we talk like lions but we sacrifice like lambs...she says shhh I know it's only in my head

 

yeah I can't articulate it but I am misunderstood because I have an inability to communicate effectivley and am socialy retarded (sorry im not supposed t osay that)

 

YES. I know exactly what you mean!

Damn giggly people.:$ haha.

 

heh... i actually love that song.

im the same way, lynsey.... its really hard for me to explain and a big long story about why i even made this thread...... oh well....

 

that song is me...and yah no what my guy friend who is really hubby just called me and told me I 'earned those six pounds and should be proud of them' why'd you make the thread. you can share or not share...up to you

i actually have adhd and truely think i have aspergers. I cannot relate to people at all. I can have total sympathy but no empathy and it makes me come across selfishwell my personality doesn't show what my heart looks like.

 

absolutely... probably the majority of it stem from my outer and inner shell not really matching up (I don't know that they ever will), but I think everyone's at least a little misunderstood... can you ever truly and completely understand another person? But yeah, I'd say I'm probly more misunderstood than the 'average' person.. just part of my life lol

 

Baby, do you understand me now
Sometimes I feel a little mad
Well don't you know that no-one alive
Can always be an angel
When things go wrong I seem to be bad

I'm just a soul who's intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

Baby, sometimes I'm so carefree
With a joy that's hard to hide
And sometimes it seems that
All I have to do is worry
And then you're bound to see my other side

I'm just a soul who's intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

If I seem edgy, I want you to know
That I never mean to take it out on you
Life has it's problems and I get my share
And that's one thing I never mean to do

'cause I love you
Oh, oh, oh, baby, don't you know I'm human
Have thoughts like any other one
Sometimes I find myself alone and regretting
Some foolish thing, some little simple thing I've done

I'm just a soul who's intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

Yes, I'm just a soul who's intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

Yes, I'm just a soul who's intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

Yes, I'm just a soul who's intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

 

i had to fire someone tonight... well, me and another manager and part of it was because the way this one girl decided to tell me that when i tell her to do stuff (like clean), that i "have an attitude" when i say it... which i dont.... but i dunno- i talk just kinda "matter of fact"- not mean but i dont always put a lot of inflection in any way into my voice when im busy and stuff.
the problem with what she said to me was she said it in front of customers and in a very mean way.

it wasnt a pleasant experience for me at all. i didnt want to fire her just because... i dunno.... made me feel mean but she was a bitch and im glad she's gone anyways.

 

Both ends of firing suck but they're part of Life...

 

And you've just described Robert...

 

ahhh man nothing like letting somone go to make you feel crappy. I'm sorry I've had past interns and aides make me feel like I was the darkest woman on earth.


You can't feel about about yourself for what somone who is incompetent and just got laid off says.

 

Dustin.....if I ever post pics in the love and sex forum I'm gonna make them private and give everyone the password except for you just for that. smiles d:, lynsey

 

I feel that I am very misunderstood, but the reality is people probably do understand me more than I give them credit for. However, because of the way I feel, I'm reluctant to fully give of myself to others and let people in - I'm guarded

 

Yes, I tend to be misunderstood. My quiet shyness upon first meeting someone is normally taken for conceit in person. I just like to observe at first, take in everything about the person. Although, there are some people whom I get good vibes from that I immediately feel comfortable with and can be myself (in other words, I talk a mile a minute). Others, it takes time. And still others, I always feel hesitant about, they just don't give off good vibes, so I stay silent for the most part, mentally analyzing them.
