When people respond to me with things I did not say, it’s good reminder for me to pay attention to my own listening skills.
The clearer I express my ideas aligned with my intention, this increases likelihood that others understand what I am trying to say.
I also need to remind myself I am not psychic. If I feel confused about something someone says to me, I should ASK for clarification rather than assume
In this way I learn & experience less friction when talking with others
Yes, sometimes attempts at clarification are rebuffed. Still, one must try. it is never a mistake to try
