Some days I feel like I am not speaking the same language as those around me. I somehow miss important (to the speaker) cues as to the correct response--whether verbal or otherwise. It has been brought to my attention, that I sometimes (always) have no clue why a person is upset with something I said, or a particular thought process. I fail to see why a person would think that I was being negative by declaring that we will gain (variable) x instead of "Capital, Underlined, Italics X." The difference is minute (in my mind) yet others somehow get the idea that I am cursing the "CUI X" noted above to fail when in my mind, I feel that I am remaining open to other possibilities. If it were a Venn diagram, CUI X would fall into (variable) x.
I see things very differently than others. I tend to see life as a big giant variable x where anything could happen and often does. I do not see the need to name x as CUI X, as I see it as belonging to the set already and as Murphy likes to insert his humor into the equation, it might not be CUI X but UIC B instead (which incidentally is also in [variable] x.) Regardless of which option works out, I cannot be disappointed because I considered every possibility in the "x" whereas the other listed options named a specific point inside of "x." How could that possibly be construed as negative thinking???
It seems in life that some folk get so hung up on a specific X that they cannot see any other possibilities. It really makes no difference what X means, but if X does not happen, folks often will get pissy and mad. I choose instead to live (variable) x as it includes every possibility. It is the epitome of positivity. How could I ever be disappointed when X is included in (variable) x as is B, C, T, etc...
In conclusion, I do sometimes fail to understand others perspective. Though in truth, my perspective is just as misunderstood. In the future, I will try to make others understand what I mean without getting upset. I guess it would be too much to ask for the same courtesy??
