Misunderstandings happen. Do they happen more when one has Fibro?
I'm hesitant to even mention this wondering if it will be taken out of context. It just seems to me that a number of people must read into words or comments things that are not there or at least not intended to be mean or hurtful or suggestive in any way other than what the author is attempting to say.
Once, many years ago I met a very tall beautiful blonde girl. We hit it off well immediately and the relationship developed quickly. About 10 days into the relationship my phone rang around lunch time and I happened to walk home to make myself a sandwich. The phone rang around 12:15 and it was Cathy ( the new GF ) After saying hello there was a longer than normal pause and I heard her voice say hesitantly : " Theo "? happy to hear her voice I excitedly said: " HEY! This is a surprise. How are you?" once again the pause was longer than expected and she said with a lot of emotion in her voice: " OH THEO! What is happening to us???"
I was dumbfounded. What could she possibly mean? So I asked: " What do you mean? W hy are you asking that?"
It seems that I had called her a few mornings before going to work and this one morning I didn't call. I was running late for work and there weren't cell phones so I didn't call. We had a GREAT week-end, lot's of laughing and loving, but somehow the missed call lead her to think that something was wrong. It took me most of the phone call to convince her that I hadn't replaced her with someone new.
These days it's not about the same subject but I often read, see, or hear people asking if they said or did something wrong and like then I'm puzzled by the question.
Is it possible that something happens chemically to stir doubt, or fear of some-sort?
Please do not read anything suggestive or bad or that I am speaking to any particular person or people. I'm just wondering out-loud.
Does anyone else notice this hyper-sensitivity?
