interactions and exchanges

ugh.

i've decided that one of my new pet peeves is when people automatically assume that they know you better than you know yourself. i hate how lately people have thought to themselves, "Well, it's Suzin, you know, so she's obviously getting mad/asking that question/performing that action because she's angry/enraged/out of line/venting/etc." i feel like people don't really listen to me anymore, they listen to what they've previously decided i am. it's like my first drawing teacher taught us -- "Draw what you SEE, not what you THINK you see." And once we took her advice, our artistic talents grew exponentially. i think if this were applied to relationships, they'd be much smoother.

i really really really hate being misunderstood. being misunderstood frustrates me to no end. it upsets me & i find it hard not to dwell on it until there is resolution.

i feel like my list of people i can trust is shrinking...there's only a handful left, and they're all out of reach the majority of the time.
