Well, as usual, today is just the last straw on the camel's back. I just never seem to be able to communicate with people at all. I am so gunshy at this point that I just don't want to talk anymore. I can go for a while without any misunderstandings but when they happen it just devastates me. Its like the old cartoons where the character is crossing a railroad track. He looks one way....nothing as far as the eye can see....the other way..nothing as far as the eye can see...then he carefully starts to cross the tracks and BAM!! ! The train comes out of nowhere.
It would be one thing if I was clueless and these things happen but I expend so much effort to word my sentences very carefully. I agonize for days about asking one question. No matter how hard I try to make sure that I am communicating as plainly and simply as I can it just never works. Never mind if I have to think at the moment because I'm in a conversation.
Its like I've said many times, I hope I can find my real universe someday because this alternate one sucks.(hopefully that's not considered a swear that will get me censored.)
We have all been there and I know exactly what you mean about 'being hit by a train out of no where'.
I had one of those days yesterday; I thought for ages exactly how to pharse what I wanted to say, even rehersed it in my head several times and thought I was complimenting the person. However, they took offence and thought I meant something completely different, although I don't know how. Am still a bit upset about it today.
I guess all can do is enjoy the good days and try and forget the bad.
