Read between the lines, forget what I SAID.
I consider myself to be intelligent, but there are times, when I am abit slow to grasp ideas if they aren't direct. I don't like beating around the bush, and I don't like having to interpret what someone is saying, by some out of left field remark, that is vague and pointless. I'm direct, I put it all on the table when I play. Maybe that's why I could never play poker, bluffing, deception and trickery, are completely foreign to me. I don't even see them coming some times. Abit overtrusting, I can't help but see good intentions before bad, and often times that leads to trouble. I've seen what the other side can bring to a person, emotinally, and psychologically, and I dont' want any part of it. Why is being up front, so hard to understand?

When I say something, there are no second meanings, no hidden truths or lies, and no underlying suggestions. I said what I meant to say. Now granted, there are times, when in a heated argument, I might say something, that I regret saying, something maybe that I would have never expressed, in any way shape or form, to anyone. I still said it, and I probably meant it, but I regret saying it.

Someone sais something, then when you act on it, comes back later to say, "that's not what I meant." Well that's what you said. So that's what I did, and then they have the nerve to call me stupid for doing what they said, rather then the suggestive they were wanting to say, but were so coward they could only say between lines.

Mind you I can read between the lines, but if you'r too coward to come out and ask for that specifically, then why should I be so brave as to interrpret your true meaning? That's mind reading, and well beyond my abilites.

Either way it seems you can't really win in this situation. If you do what they say outright, with the meaning they said, you didn't understand their true meaning. If you red between then lines to try and interpret their true meanings, and you missinterpret, they never actually said that. so again they are off the hook.

Say what you mean, mean what you say, and don't hide feelings in encrypted code within your message

Like I'm some code reader, sopposed to decypher the special message you locked into what you say.
What if I missinterpret you code to mean something else? Then it's my fault. What if I don't try to interpret your code at all? then it's my fault for not understanding the true nature of what you were saying.

I will admit, that I am pretty good at decyphering this encrypted code, and most times I can hit your feelings on the mark, but since they are feelings your scared to express anyway, if I confront, or bring themto the surface, most just deny their true feelings,a nd hide behind what they originally, did say. Words, Words, Words...don't play word games with me, you WILL get burned.

I know what you mean
even when you don't word it
but if you want me to care
you better just say it.


Ahh, the rant, the rave, the life of an idiot.
