So I think there was something up with energy on Friday, because both my husband and my brother were behaving a certain way, misinterpreting a bunch of thing.
Here are two notable examples. On the phone with my husband, I said to him: "I couldn't find the spare key that I use so we used mom's. I remember you lent it to one of the kids, but I don't know where it is."
My husband got defensive and alluded that the kids didn't lose it and such. I never accused them of losing it, I just said that I didn't know where it was.
Later, talking with the bro and my mom about my brother's OCD, I said: "Well, since this doesn't seem to be working, you should probably start tapping, it surely ought to help."
Now he thought that I was saying he needs to stop what he's doing and that it's making his condition worse. Never said that. Never implied it either.
It's like the whole "So what you're saying is..." thing. It's like, don't read between the lines, there are no lines in between which to read from!
Originally I thought it had something to do with the energy in regards to the male species. However, my step son was not behaving in this way at all. So perhaps it's an astrological energy thing. Both my brother and husband are Cancers, both born in the first half of July.
I'm wondering if anyone else noticed this sort of behaviour from any Cancers they knew, guys, girls or anything in-between. And the next day, everyone was back to normal. I'm thinking, either it was a Cancer thing, or a Cancer in relation to Saggittarious thing, because I'm a Sag, and they were this way in reaction to me. My mother and I were fine with each other and understood each other perfectly. I thought it had been the way I had said it, as in me being he problem, but with my brother's reaction, right away my mother told him that that's not what I had said and she didn't understand ho he could have misunderstood it as that. So, I don't know. What do you think?
I played this communication game once where two partners that know each other well sit back to back. Each one takes turns telling the other exactly how to put together a puzzle that they each have in front of them. It's frustrating. And also, each communicator gets to examine how they communicated, and what the physical feedback was of that communication. It's a two way street and no one listener interprets anything in the exact way it is meant by the communicator. What I took from it is to give everyone the benefit of the doubt. To check in ("did you mean this...") and to not jump to defense and conclusions- especially when that's the first emotion that comes up for me!
Great post!!
Thanks :) Yeah. Well tonight it was my turn to pull a "jumping to conclusions and totally misinterpreting what was said" tonight. But it allowed some clearing up of some misconceptions from some old thought patterns and allowed me to make some realisation, good ones.
It makes me realise even more how sometimes it really depends how we were programmed. There are a lot of things that to me meant one thing because I was told repetitively that it meant that. Then someone else says it and means something else by it, but for me, it still means that first thing. Other times, it depends on how we're feeling in that moment and how we are judging ourselves.
Wow ...very nice mam... It's awesome.

Those are fantastic shots! Some time, people want to hear what they think they heard! It just proves that they didn't listen attentively..
Yeah, I found those crabs on Pexels. They're so cute ;)
Sometimes people also judge themselves that they hear judgement in others' words when there is none and project.
