Ambiguity



It gets a little frustrating at times when the people you love insist on talking to you behind a bush so that you cannot understand a word they are saying. If you have ever been in a situation where everything you did made someone angry and everything you do to fix the problem only worsens it, then you know what I am talking about. The problem only gets worse because the people you care about don't have the nerve or better yet, the needed courage to tell you that you are doing something that is making them mad. As the offender you often have no idea what it is that you are doing wrong. For all you know, you and the other person are on good terms.


I would advise that you not get angry at the people who beat around the bush. Sometimes people refrain from telling the truth or telling you how they feel because they are uncertain about your reaction and how it is going to affect the situation you're both in. I believe the best way for you as the offender (though you are not aware of your offense) is to listen to the other person and cypher through the things they are saying. You can easily figure out when someone has been hurt or has been angered by something you said or did but they don't want to tell you.
