Does anyone else feel like when they speak to people, people don't understand what you are saying, even though, you think you are speaking plain English?

Is it me or is it the Retrograde?

What's up Shortii,
This happens to me, as well and it use to piss me off alot. However, I've learned that whenever someone doesn't understand what you're saying even after you've said it clearly in plain English, it's because they're distracted with something else on their mind. It could be anything else or it could be "you". Most people that I'm talking to often get distracted by my eyes. They way they shape, they're color or even because of my eye lashes. I think what makes them so fascinating is that I don't really have to do anything with them. Every now and then I'll wear contacts to intensify the color, but yeah, I wouldn't get frustrated about that. Some people just get distracted easily even when you're talking.

i've noticed this lately. it's kinda funny, but frustrating lol. i'm finding myself repeating things over and over and being overly distracted when i'm usually a good listener. been loads of misunderstandings too; it's like some weird chinese whispers game. i blame the retrograde 😆

I feel like it's been happening more often now or maybe I'm just recognizing it more now. So,for now, I try to make stuff as simple as possible. I still feel like people misunderstand me.. especially my Bullie.. LOL We always end up butting heads somehow 😢

I don't seem to have any problems stating my mind.

Not only do people hear me loud and clear .. they'll even drag up stuff from years past > to acknowledge me again.

Every person I talk to, beit in person or online ... acknowledges me, and my point.

In your place, if I were you .... I would stop looking for an excuse as to why you fail to articulate what you want to say (such as a retrograde), and start focusing on the actual reason you fail to communicate what you need to say.

LOL!
Nine times out of ten the reason other's don't understand what I am saying is because they are of a lower pay grade, intelligence factor or life form than I. As hard as I may try, retrograde or not, I just cannot explain CSPAN type conversations to the Teletubbies /Sesame Street audience.

I'm normally very clear in getting my point across or expressing myself (Mercury in Aquarius) if anything I tend to over explain (Gemini Moon no doubt).

Lately though.....I've found myself saying things I don't mean, or saying something and then thinking WTF why did I say that?

My communications have definitely been more garbled of late but I don't think that's so much the retrograde more the fact I just need to learn to keep my trap shut until it's clear in my own head what it is I want/need to say.

People understand.
there just to selfish and or stupid.
I have a hard time saying things sometimes.
Because, I know i can be very blunt & harsh and i dont want to cause any pain.
Or when there are a million other things on my mind.

people understand.

they are just to involved with other things or themselves, to understand.

just like the goverment understand there's starving people out there & people loosing there homes

but what are they doing?

That is when you have to jump inside of their soul and speak through them. That is when you have to jump inside of their soul and speak through them.
