WendySilvia's blog post - It seems easy to do

Sunday, May 5, 2024, 3:02:29 AM

Have you ever said something to someone.. thinking you are in the right.. you are totally certain your message will convey just what you are thinking and feeling.. You read it and re read it over and over.. making sure you are clean.. and concise.. You put love into the message too.. just so it is not seen as a horrible attack.. You hit send... You wait for the response.. and then you see the reaction.. It went way wrong.. and then you think.. OMG.. what have I done?

I swear.. bad baggage.. and misguided intentions.. will get ya every time.. haha.. Silly Wendy!

There are times like this.. where I feel I am best enjoyed sparingly..

MellieK	5-May-24 7:48:30 Oh yes. I am horribly sarcastic and it doesn’t always translate well. In one of our first message exchanges, I replied “well that sounds awful”, and apparently the sarcasm didn’t come across. I added my contact details, which I thought would have clarified things, but they got removed/censored by NN, so all in all I just came across like a callous bitch. I get reminded about this regularly and - apparently - how much better I’ve got at compliments 😂

lennynatural	5-May-24 22:48:01 Yes, it's happened. I figure that it's a "them" problem, not a "me" problem. (I hope this comes across right.......)

Adequate1	6-May-24 14:31:05 That is the downside of not having a personal conversation. People tend to interject tones and read things the wrong way, but with in person conversations they can hear your tone and see your expression.

Beeblebrox42	31-Jul-24 18:08:43 Yes! This has happened to me countless times. The written word can be easily misconstrued, and I have been on both sides of it.
