I am completely incapable of getting my point across.
And who knows, this might be another, here it goes. At work, at home it doesnt matter where, there's a conversation going on, I might even be a part of it, but at some point I bring up a point, an observation something I feel will add to the line of thought. and I will present it in what I feel is a confident and clear manner. But it instantly INSTANTLY! gets shot down, or other points that were already brought up will be reiterated. The worst part is when I'm given the cliff notes of the conversation so far, as if I were an idiot.
I even stated as much in one instance telling them
"I could tell you the sky is blue and you'd find fault with that."
They didn't get it.
Of late I've taken up the hobby of picturing myself standing behind the speaker saying such things as
"I'd give you my opinion but you've already showed me what it means to you."
Of course my habit of turning things around and pointing them at myself kicks in and I wonder at what point I should seek therapy .... pity too, you'd think friends would try to understand.... mayhaps I should return the favor.
