Wow...people are SO sensitive these days...what happened to people giving each other the benefit of the doubt, instead of just assuming someone is being nasty...

It drives me crazy to no end when someone makes a remark or says something and people just go all crazy thinking the person was being snotty, snobbish or mean...when in MOST cases, the person is trying to help, and their intention WAS not negative at all..

Not everyone is "out to get you" or "disrespect you" or talk down to you.. geez give people the benefit of the doubt sometimes..you MAY be surprised..you may even make a new friend..

i just try to set them straight and if they don't get it, then oh well. i really do hate misunderstandings though and i hate trying to make them right again.

the next time that happens i'm going to sing random songs of love and devotion very loudly, in order to baffle them, distract them, and redirect their thoughts to something else.

when confronted by a foe, I've learned that if they think i'm crazy, they'll leave me alone.

LOL> Works everytime...😛

I think its the communication style ...I sometimes do it on purpose though.
But when someone purposely lies about me...I find very difficult to get it across that the person is lying no matter how hard I try...I just say nothing most of the time to save the energy and let them believe what they will.

"
maybe they don't understand when we're joking and when we're being serious?"

I think so...i'm so sarcastic sometimes...but my tone and voice never change when im serious. So, I guess it is hard to tell.

I love to confuse for those same reasons...and to just spice up someones life or mine...depending on the mood and day 😛

one of my good friends is an aqua, and her subtle sarcasm is one of the things i appreciate most about her. admittedly, sometimes it makes me feel like a jackass because she makes fun of me and i don't even notice at the time. i get over it though 'cause i know she isn't being malicious. it prolly helps that i don't take stuff too seriously.

Well at first she wouldnt get it and got a little peeved but didnt really show it...then she started coming back with it. So I guess if I can dish it out I can handle it eh. But we dont do it in front of others...thats a no no and I think aquas dont like that WAY more than leos.

Lady M thats true. Its hard to know negative cynisism and constructive critisism when it is reduced to text.

Im sure, we do lack tone, expression and etc.
