it was a close call today. barely had 3 hours of sleep. i woke up at 8:40 this morning and had to rush like mad for the staff devotion at 9! thank God that i woke up automatically at 8 plus, usually i will only be up by lunchtime. so today din start off very well. i think in many people's eyes, i am a gal who is simple minded and somewhat an idealist. it oftens seems to them that my view of the world is rather shallow and superficial...maybe a tad too optimistic. thats why they will take extra effort to correct my perception. i do not blame them...i think what i say often is simple minded and idealistic. what they may not realisedis the parts i do not say. that means i do not speak aloud every single thought on my mind. and what i do eventually say is the processed, filtered and often more rational and optimistic view! Afterall, i will give the more positive and simplified version of things. disappointingly, people really take the surface value of what i say, yet fail to appreciate how i come to say what i say, and think that i must be a simple minded, idealistic and rather immature person... and when people try to correct my "surface" view of things, most of the time, they are just repeating of what had already been through my mind. thats why for me, listening to them can be quite frustrating. does the problem lies with me? if so, how can i better communicate my thoughts? really dont like to be misunderstood. but it seems that there is something very wrong with the way i communicate.
help!!!!
