Do you feel that no one understands what your intentions are

Post Reply New Topic

Has anyone viewed your actions as Silly? Or viewed you as stupid? You want to solve a problem your own way, but people criticize you. I really hate it when I'm trying to solve a problem differently, and get nagged for it.

Name that action or problem you had, and how you wanted to solve it.

My actions are seen more as hostile than stupid. But then, I also see the world as a hostile place.

From my heart and from my hand, why don't people understand...my intentions?

I've done stupid before, clueless a lot, and sometimes, I didn't even know what my intentions were myself...I don't get criticized much at my age, but people occasionally talk to me as if I'm 7...

I don't kno why. I feel the same way.

People think I am stupid, silly, immature, idiotic, imbecilic, ret*d. I am often in my own little world thinking and writing about things that are meaningful to me and pretty much given up on others. I have learned it's impossible to convince some people.

I was under the impression that's typical for being autistic. Guess I'll have to think about that again then.

I'll re-phrase it: That's how people treated me for most of my life. It happened too many times to come with a concrete example.

I hear you!



People always misunderstand me and think that I'm being mean when I'm not trying to do that.
That's why I prefer to be quiet and don't look for friendships.

WHAT THE *&^%$#@ DO MEAN BY ... oh ... right ... uh ... Thank you!

When I was younger, all the time. And I mean all the damn time, every action I ever undertook!

It was still sort of happening in highschool, about 50-50.

Now, the only time my actions are not understood is usually when I don't want them to be understood.

I was always taught "treat others as you would like to be treated."
I like to recieve compliments on my looks, I like to share good food, and I hate being yelled at or called names. So I always try to be my idea of the 'ideal person', by giving compliments, sharing baked goods, and being calm and rational and not too emotional.

Yet, people always mistook my actions to be hostile or condescending.

Like if I complimented a girl's outfit, she would be suspicious and creeped out! All I ever said was, "That is a cute blouse."

Sometimes, I would bake cookies for my friends and give them out, and people would be all suspicious of me and ask me if I had poisoned them or dropped them on the floor. Why can't someone just give away cookies to be nice, rather than having hidden intentions?

If someone was mad at me or something, and was yelling at me, I would never ever yell back. I never call nasty names, either, no matter how many names I am called. I always maintain a neutral face during a conflict with another person, and try to focus on calmly and rationally resolving the conflict rather than fighting. But for some odd reason, people view my calmness as 'acting superior.' Why?
