Communication struggles strike again
I wish I knew how to change this about myself… I really do.
I started a new job a few weeks ago, and my boss and I were going over my tasks, and I tend to ask questions and speak in a way that seems to make people think I’m questioning THEM or becoming defensive/argumentative vs me just asking for further explanation so I can get a full understanding of what they’re looking for.
OR my questions are totally misunderstood, and they provide answers that aren’t actually answering my question. Am I just being complicated like people always said growing up? I don’t intend to complicate things…
I don’t like this game 😞
I’m worried it’ll get me fired again…
@MartianGirl347 possibly people will understand the reason for your questions and be more patient towards them. If you say upfront 'please bare with me I have wouldn't
It's a silent illness unfortunately. People won't always understand unless you tell them. Gives you a giant tiny hug ❤
@Tinywhisper11
thank you for your encouraging words 😊 I think I may talk to HR… maybe they’ll understand…
@MartianGirl347 good luck with everything sweetie ❤
@MartianGirl347 i have the same problem having to ask many questions to understand. But many people are not very good explaining to others, making others understand them. So its more THEIR fault for not giving all the information one needs. And then they blame us, WE have problem with communication because they cant make themself understandable.

It's okay to ask questions to gain understanding 💜
