I can't stand people who think they know everything and slam you with what they think you are talking about instead of listening to what you actually are saying.

I think this is an interesting statement because I constantly find myself misrepresented as the know-it-all slammer...

Which, as I have recently discovered, is why people I actually speak to have such an issue with me...my explanations and fill-ins take so long that by the time I get to the point or message of what I'm trying to convey, the person I am speaking to has already drawn a conclusion from the analogies that I've use to support why I started the statement in the first place. Unfortunately, by the time I make it to the point (if I am even able enough to get that far), I've already lost my audience due to preconceived notions of what they think I am trying to say. Therefore, anything I say afterwards is generally taken defensively. In my case, I use analogies to insure I know what the person is saying because people know what they are thinking but don't always state things in a way the listener can relate to, but instead of stating if the comparison I've made has hit the nail on the head or not, it is assumed that my analogy IS the grounds for the discussion... :confused:

Due to this fact of human nature, I have trained my niece and nephew to comprehend the fact that in this world, you are wrong first then right. People are more likely to be misunderstood than understood because, as a whole, we generally spend our lives defending ourselves. The thought or notion that another being may actually understand you first is not in our nature. Therefore, even the most harmless of observations can be taken in the wrong manner if a conferred understanding is not established from the start. (Thus, my reason for making analogies.)

Sadly, in my case, I am just so used to people automatically feeling I am going to be opinionated or "slam" what they are saying or are going to say, that I have become a bit complacent with knowing I am going to be misunderstood and have just gotten too tired of dealing with it. I would think by now, people who "know" me would "know" I'm not that type of person, but I've discovered when "feelings" are involved, all bets are off.

Maybe this might be the same case with the type of person you are referring to. Sometimes you never know...

Thinking everyone needs to be careful this weekend.  Depending on the track of the storm we may get as little as 2 inches of snow or more than 6 inches.  Time will tell so everyone please be careful a

It's O.K. Since this site literally helped me through A LOT of stuff, I suppose I may be a bit more loyal to it than most. That and the fact that all my friends hang on DGN...

Why is misinformation so prolific? It takes years for the truth to be known and even then it isn't fully believed. Why not just release the truth to begin with?

Because you can't make any money on the truth. Misinformation sales magazines!!!

Is your "gofundme" account able to be modified for the purpose of the cost of a couple weeks car rental or for the cost of a down payment? I think that would be a good option especially if there was a "PayPal" button available...hint hint...

I am seriously beginning to wonder if my lack of the use of curse words during basic conversations with non-immediate family members causes those I speak with to not take me seriously or make my words unmemorable. I say the same things over and over again, but not in the same time period so as not to sound whiny or like I'm complaining. Only to find later that those I spoke with never knew I even had an issue with anything I guess because I didn't sit there griping about the same situation 30 times in a row. However, the icing on the cake is when I see or hear those same topics brought to light, but with colorful metaphors and now the statements have true meaning. Almost makes me wonder why I broke my silence all those years ago... :confused:

I guess I am just thinking too much right now...been working since 1:30am this morning and finally calling it quits for a bit...

I truly believe there is no rest for the weary and I'm no longer considering that "final sleep" as an option so I think it is best that I get myself into gear, buckle down, quit the pity parties and handle it all.

      How Are You Feeling? (cont'd)

      By TronRP · Posted

      Feeling happy to report that my neighbor and her cat are now back together.  I build her fur baby an indoor Cat Run and now the cat and her 3 kittens have been moved in.  I told my neighbor to make sure the little ones stay with their mother for at least 3 days in their new environment before she starts letting people handle and take the babies away.    I wish she would keep at least one of the 3 kittens, but apparently they are all already spoken for.

      Trump is president....again

      By Scary Guy · Posted

      Well it happened, understandably but it still sucks.  I hated them both so I was going to be unhappy either way, but I do admit I hate Trump slightly more because of the narcissism, egomania, xenophobia, and misogyny.  On top of that that insufferable base of his who think that they are free to act the same way now that he's won.  The apologetics from them were horrible too where they handwaved away legitimate criticisms, and mocking those who brought them with "orange man bad!"   The one good thing to come out of this is punk music is going to absolutely rock for the next few years.  However I really just have one question... https://www.loudersound.com/features/andrew-eldritch-sisters-of-mercy-will-make-another-album-if-trump-is-elected IT'S HAPPENED TWICE NOW ANDY, WHERE'S OUR FUCKIN' ALBUM‽ Well, I guess at least I'll get to keep my guns.
