I have a problem. A filter problem. I think it, I say it.
I find this to be a great quality, others find it confusing. It's as if they have been burned so many times, it can't be possible that someone means what they say and there is no hidden agenda or unsaid words. I have had people mad at me for something I have said and when I ask them to tell me what they heard , i fond that they have inserted their own phrase or meaning. When i correct them and say what i actually said, they retort with "well what you meant was". No, if i meant that i would have said it. I call this the fortune cookie phenomenon. Just like some people add "in bed" to the end of their fortune, people often add their own insecurities to the end of what others share.
Two words. Stop it.
