Examples Of Being Misunderstood
Being understood is not the same as being listened to. Most of the time people don't fully listen to you anyway. I've tried numerous times to explain how I feel, but each and every time I gather up the strength to express myself I get interrupted by another inaccurate remark about what people swore they heard come out of my mouth, rather than what actually was spoken. Being misunderstood is such a pain. You tell them your fine and then the next second they're on the phone with what is soon to be your new therapist. What part of fine do they not understand? I have to admit, I do have my ups and downs, but every once in a while I come across a smooth slate of concrete to drive over.

Without understanding the consequence of repeated mistakes, misinterpretation, confusion continue to exist. Understanding people and their motivations for their actions helps to make sense of a complex situation.…

    Autobiographical Psychosocial History

    Shortly after my father died when I was nine years old, my perceptions on life changed drastically. I went from being an everyday average child to over thinking just the smallest things. Now as I have grown into an adult and a mother this has not changed but in most cases gotten worse than what it was. However, I have not considered this a bad thing at all I have learned to analyze things around me in order to grasp the complete understanding. This has helped me through some very tough times as a single mother, and is a skill so to speak that I have encouraged my son to do as well. Now not everything has been peaches and rainbows, I have lost people that I once loved dearly because of the way I perceived their actions with my over thinking every little thing someone does. Although I have learned that analyzing, things without the facts can hurt many people I still find this to be a unique skill. I have learned through the years that the way that I perceive things also helps me with my every day stress. As I have mentioned before I have an 11-year-old son that has been diagnosed with bipolar, ADHD, OCD and ODD, dealing with a child that has to have mood-stabilizing drugs in order to function in a manner that society considers normal is stressful with in itself. I have learned over the years to take everything on day at a time and not to over load my plate with too much, because I am known for over thinking, stressing out and shutting down. When I get over stressed I have high anxiety attacks that can last for hours, sometimes days this is not a progressive way to live your life in fact it can be completely debilitating at times. I have found that the smallest things can push my stress level to the point of a complete melt down. However, sense I work with a therapist…

    The Cruel False Misinterpretation

    In spite of the fact that this misinterpretation is gradually dissolving because of training and "neediness" turning into a hotly debated issue in legislative issues and conventional media circuits, many Americans stay unconvinced that destitution exists. To the individuals who know the substances of destitution and the seriousness of the problem in America, it is presumably mind boggling that this confusion is still a typically held conviction.…

    Examples Of Stereotyping

    What image do you see when you hear the word homeless? I use to think of words like dirty, lonely, and also needy. The true definition of homeless is without a home, and therefore typically living on the streets. Stereotyping is a common thought through our human minds, which means oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of person or thing. I learned this summer on my mission trip to Madison, Wisconsin, that homeless people are not what we think they are.…

    When a person gets an illness like multiple sclerosis that person may feel like no one understands how they are feeling. Having multiple sclerosis I better understand the emotions that the person may be having. Many people try to say they understand how you are feeling but how can they if they do not have the illness. When people say they understand and do not have the illness it sometimes feels like they are having pity on you because you are sick. In having multiple sclerosis I can truly say to the client I understand how they are feeling.…

    Interpersonal Effectiveness

    An interpersonal goal that I want to improve in my personal life is learning to understand others and my communication towards others as well. Through my life I have had conversation or debates with people and sometimes I totally misunderstand them, and then I would get into a debate and tell the person off as if they weren’t logical and had the wrong information. I want to fix this because in order for me to be able to understand and communicate with people in a professional setting I must first get myself right personally. I think that I am not far from attaining this goal because I have pursued my problem by first working on communication with my kids. I would usually argue at them and then send them into time out but now I listen to them and explain to them wrong…

    Racial Misconceptions

    Society is driven by an illegitimate concept that causes social and political turmoil. That concept is race. Although the idea of race is believed to be eternal, it was actually created by society. Believe it or not, people were not always socially ranked by their skin tone, hair texture, or clothing style. This concept came with time and political unrest. There are many biological and psychological misconceptions and flaws associated with the term “race” that create unnecessary conflict and confusion.…
