Why is it that when I try to receive some input on how I perceive things, that I get told that I am arguing? I know that my life has not been normal, to say the least; but I mean come on.
I am sure that how I perceive and receive information, is not how anyone perceives the exact same information. In reality, who does. In my communication class, that is called interpretational communication. Just try to describe an aspen to someone who's only idea of a tree is, say, an olive tree. It is all open to interpretation. And in reality, not everyone is correct.
Just this week, I offered to help somebody, and that person took it to mean that I was giving an attitude. So, when I had asked for some information, trying to give some background also, so I can interpret better, I get told that I am arguing.
I am just so frustrated. In a lot of aspects of my life, I really don't feel wanted, or needed, even. Take for example, I work just has hard as another person, that person received praise and acknowledgment, whereas I received a half-hearted congratulations. Is it so wrong to want to have some proof that one is wanted?
