Often when I’m talking to give information, people get something completely different from it. I know how words work, but somehow it turns to garbage between my brain and their ears.
Asking a technical question at work only for people to interpret it in a completely wrong way and needing to rephrase everything after confirming with a colleague that what I wrote the first time was actually clear… How do people’s brain works?
This happens to me constantly. Just the other day I asked some friends for something and then they sent the literal exact opposite of that thing. Pretend I asked for blue with red stripes they gave me green with yellow polka dots. And it wasn’t just one person it was three separate people who all decided that made sense for some reason.
I was extremely specific too, even more than usual because I know people constantly misinterpret me. I made extra sure to not use any language with vague meanings and it still happened anyway. It’s like we live in alternate realities where words have completely different meanings.

“Am I talking like the god damn riddler?” when my simple statement is somehow wildly misunderstood
Now I’m wondering if I shouldn’t start every question with “Riddle me THIS, Batman!” 🤔

I don’t know anything about what is between my ears and your brains, but even so, I love you.

It makes me not want to talk to people at all.
