Misinterpret
how do you deal with people misinterpreting you in a negative way? whether it’s family or friends?
I generally assume the best of people and give them benefit of the doubt and ask questions if something, if something confuses me I ask questions to clarify but I’m finding a lot of people around me jump to interpreting what I do or say in a negative light, I’ll do or say something very neutral and they’ll take it as me having a negative intention or trying to slight them. I find myself over explaining myself and confirming that I had no ill intent but they‘ve made their mind up and it’s getting tiring and making me want to isolate myself. With friends it’s easier to take distance or go out separate ways but thats not an option with family.
