This morning was a rather interesting one while sitting having a coffee with close family friends. It ended up being a debate about how things can get misconstrued, taken out of context and how men and women think completely differently on so many different topics.
The main topic was how texts can be taken out of context and misconstrued, people can think you are being bitchy, upset, snarky and even trying to guilt trip all because they cant see the persons facial expressions or gauge ones mood when the recipient reads the message. Then we discussed how females see their messages compared to how males would perceive the females messages. I sat and was amused by how differently the sexes perceive and see things. Then realised maybe "he" was right the past couple of years with how I write messages may come across. Maybe I do come across as passive-aggressive even though I am not meaning to. Its amazing how a few other peoples perspectives on something so simple can make you realise that someone else could have been right when they accused you of it :o)
The debate over how men & women perceive things was rather intriguing as I can now understand why so many misconceptions on things can happen depending on whose perception is. How there is always 3 sides to every story just like the quote "There are always three sides to the story: Yours, Theirs & the Truth". Which is why misconceptions happen and people will always believe their own ideas or thoughts on things, and why even if you send an email/txt or letter and you don't mean to sound a certain way the receiver may still see it this way and even though you know the truth of what you were meaning there is still different sides to it. Just like men & women always perceive things differently because women are more likely to see things on an emotional level whereas men will see it from a different level all together.
Life definitely makes me giggle when you realise you have possibly been doing things without realising you have been all due to a simple conversation over coffee... Today's coffee made me realise someone could quite possibly been more right then I first thought on how some things I say and do come across... Another lesson I have now learnt albeit a good one to learn too.
