If one had created a misunderstanding
with inappropriate words,
one should just clarify with appropriate words.
(Sometimes, no other action is needed; not even meeting.)

  1. (L) Just for sharing. I am told that there are some people who ‘dont really mean what they say’.Eg If you ask a person if she wants a drink, she says ‘no’ but in her heart, she actually wants a drink.

    Then there is another kind of person who doesn’t tell you directly what she wants.Eg The person would comment that the strawberries in the garden are very nice but she is actually hinting that she wants to eat them.

    I sometimes ask myself if these scenarios happen, what is the point of communication when these people ‘don’t really mean what they say’? I cannot read people’s mind.

  2. Haha yes, sometimes, people beat about the bush vaguely and when you don’t even know they are doing so, much less what they really want, they become unhappy with us, which is puzzling, because from our side, we have done nothing wrong, while it is them who have done wrong with ‘coded’ communication!
