How often you face that you have been misunderstood by others?

Answer 1

Lots of times but it's probably because I give them a joke answer and they don't know if i mean it or not

Answer 2

Oh dear god all the time. I keep forgetting that not everybody has had the benefit of a public or grammar school education just like what I has had. You've got to pitch your answers or questions or sometimes just general conversation to the level of whoever you're talking to. Sometimes this means crashing through the mental gearbox dramatically. For example i used to work with a girl who, despite having gone through 11 years of supposed education, was as dim as a penny candle and virtually ineducable. One day she was having trouble working out a price reduction of 10 (that's right ten) per cent. To protect the ignorant we'll call her X.
"Ok X", said I, unaware of the levels of density I was about to plumb, "find 10 per cent just by dividing the price by ten".
"What do you mean?"
"Divide by ten......????"
"What's divide?"
"!.......Y'know, share-by."
"Oh. Well I need a calculator."
Suffice to say that it went rapidly downhill from this point and took half an hour to do a ten per cent reduction in price. Worse, the original price was £99.99. This is the same girl who counted 73 boxed DVD players seven times and came up with seven different answers, and subtracted 16 from 25 and came up with 11 causing consternation in the warehouse as it looked like we were two very expensive items short, until somebody came up with the idea of checking her figures, and who would run across the path of a loaded fork-lift carrying two-tons at 6 mph.
There are people in the world who are even more intellectually compromised (no honestly) and sometimes it's a wonder that their brains can actually control their bodies. You have to make anything you say to them short, to the point and leaving no room for misunderstanding. I sometimes think that there's a very complex heirarchy of stupidity and that some people are in fact uber-brainless. You just can't get the old mental radio tuned to such a short wavelength and that's why you often get misunderstood by them.
Of course there's always the obverse that sometimes you yourself will have a blonde moment and misunderstand somebody else. Then you just have to take the inevitable stick like a man and keep a low profile for a bit.
What was the question again??

Answer 3

Well, it takes two to make a misunderstanding. It is easy for someone to complain that no one tries to understand - but almost always, at least half the fault lies within. Unless we express openly and properly, how can we expect the others to read our mind. And this is the reason why misunderstandings develop more often between two persons close to each other. In such cases the expectation levels are high and also each gets taken for granted by the other.

Answer 4

quite often ,despite thinking that I make myself clearly understood. I have said things before and then at a later stage the person I was conversing with ,will say something odd ,and then I would realize that they misunderstood what I was saying before. Ii allways find it funny and it eventually taught me that sometimes I may be reading between the lines incorrectly myself. Life is easier now.

Answer 5

Many times, because we use mostly words to express our feelings and emotions. They have their own limtations in conveying wht we intend to. Due to psaage of tiem, some hiccups do clear up, but there are many which require quite q bit of efforts. At times, the more you try clear the picture, the more trouble you land into, so you are left to wonder whether silence is the best form of communication.

Answer 6

it depends upon the person.. I think sometimes that the other person misunderstood me.. but i feel confident that what I stated was quite clear so I take it for granted that the other person doesnt have that kind of listening power so it is not exactly my fault...

Answer 7

It used to be more often than I could handle until I really started to Liston and choose my words more careful,then I was able to be understood so clearly that I could hear silence in the air.

Answer 8

There are a lot of people in my life so i am misunderstood by at least someone each day.Faced it and got over it.
And yeah could you please rephrase that?

Answer 9

Not very often
