😮‍💨 I just had a conversation end poorly

my intent was decided for me

No room to correct that

I am the only authoratative source on my meaning and intent. It makes *no* sense to have me offer to clear something up and decide to keep hold of your misplaced hurt.

It's got to a point where I don't know how to engage with these people that are my friends. I'm accused of caring more about specific wordings than productive conversations but the moment *I* say something ambiguous, it's assumptions all around and no room for correction. I wouldn't even mind if I was just told what I'm supposed to say and I could go along with it, but of course one is supposed to "just know".

I don't understand these people that will go into a conversation completely uninterested in knowing a truth - for whom an assumption is enough and understanding of actuality outside their realm of care.

I was having *such* a good day, and that was a massive blow. I feel like no ND communucation is allowed - and the best part is, I'm too impulsive to do it any other way

Please stop deciding my intent and listen.
