hello all,

i slept in, this is so late. good lord its nearly 9 PM

how easily do you, in your opinion, understand the intent behind other's words? (this sounds so stupid, but) how do you feel about that? like, would you like to be better at understanding purpose, first try, and to need less faith while communicating?

more directly: this is about your thoughts on your own deciphering of intent from others. is it fun, to not understand first try? or more a bother...

It's... Very mixed. I am usually not that good at deciphering double meanings or intent at times, or sometimes I outright refuse to see it because if they truly wanted me to know, they'd be direct. Regardless, I do find myself being correct about 40-60% of the time if I do attempt to decipher, usually by a mix of feelings and the facts that I know of that person. I love puzzles sometimes, and I like doing guesswork, but when it comes to communicating, I'd rather people be direct. The entire deciphering process is a bother in general since I don't think I should need to do that. Maybe I'm just autistic.
