I’m aware of the irony 😅

I guess it stumps me a lot when people criticise my very communication itself, and I feel like it freezes any ability to respond in a constructive way. “You have an answer for everything” makes it seem like any answer I could give to that would just be met the same way, so it’s like I need to think outside the box in order to even know how to respond to that, or if a response is appropriate at all.

I have a really annoying way of understanding things. I piece shit together bit by bit and guess at the answer before I’m told. It comes off very interrogative. Even when I’m wrong my attempts to understand seem like I’m being antagonistic. I try to explain to some people how I’m trying to fix the underlying assumptions that led me wrong.

Some people won’t respond well and it’s really difficult for me to accept that there isn’t a way to mediate both of us being happy.
