Being Misunderstood

Many a time, I am misunderstood. Sometimes I feel so little people know me but that’s OK. It’s OK to be misunderstood because what does it mean? Either people are stupid, close minded or just not experienced enough in life or I am a bad communicator.

I am not the most tactful person because I have been taught to treat others how you want to be treated. Thus with me, I want the cold and honest truth. No beating around the bush, no icing on the cake, no modelling of clay to make pretty, just tell it to me like it is. I don’t need anyone to be nice to me. I prefer people who dare to tell me that my daughter is rude. And truthfully, how many people do that? Well, I do ( to other people, I’m sorry). But sad to say, I don’t have anyone telling me such honest truths except maybe my Mom??? Or the Hubs???

Bah. I need to meet more people who will offer me truth. I have strong instincts that I have inherited from my Mom and many a time, I feel that people are just too nice. Yes, of course it is good to be nice, but not to the point you are being untruthfully nice. Is there even such a thing?

Yes, there is.

There’s something about Malaysians who want to be nice to people who are rich and famous, for example. Take the waiter at your local hotel. If you booked your table as a Datuk, be assured that your service is different from the rest of us commoners. Or maybe you come in with a string of bodyguards? Again, service is that much better. If you are a famous local celebrity? Same story. I have never understood it. This trickles down to society at large, not just between waiters and patrons.

There are a few friends of mine who are so nice to me and guess what? They are just fucking genuinely nice. I cherish their friendships even though I have done nothing for them yet I totally appreciate everything that they have ever done for me. And then there are some who approach me with caution. They are nice yet they tread carefully. I wonder why?! What could I have done or said to make them so cautious?

This makes me search internally because that is the first place I believe where I should be looking. What have I done or not done, said or not said, to allow such people to not see me as I truly am? I believe I am quite transparent yet private, in a warped sense. I don’t share a lot yet I share a lot.

An example, I can pretend to be in love with money just to assess the reactions of the people around me. Those who know me, know. Those who don’t, will misunderstand.

One thought on “Being Misunderstood

  1. I tell stone cold truth only to certain people.. it’s not others fault.. its just me, got hurt since young as i received a lot of very negative, non constructive comments, criticism and it slashed my self esteem, confidence, self worth to very much.. nil.. so i m very cautious when i tell people things.. if i think i might hurt them, i tend to tell in a nicer way. unless the person ask me to be very honest up front, which then i will be dagger sharp honest.. it’s hard to strike a balance of being nice, being honest in today’s society..sad isn’t it?
