Answer:

Being misunderstood is painful. Especially when the discord arises between yourself and somebody that you respect, like and admire. Unfortunately it is an unavoidable bi-product of human-interaction and something that we all have to contend with from time to time.

But how best to handle it when the situation arises?

I can see the flicker occur in people’s eyes, when the querying of my artificial extrovertism has reached conclusion. I feel the moment palpably, recognising all the signals having spent a lifetime faking social-courage. When the penny drops I wish I could just blurt out: Oh fudge, OK, FFS, just say it, you’ve seen me! (Cue me running wildly into the hills).

Yes I recognise this moment of acknowledgement so acutely. The searching eyes; the slowed talking at their end; the measured, intentional listening — trying to read me just that little bit more closely to affirm to themselves that their instinct is spot-on.

Oh it never tastes less bitter, or feels less painful despite experiencing it again and again over the years.

I want to suspend the moment in time, rewind it a few seconds to the moment before this one — when they still thought I was the Ace of Spades. Still thought the confidence that my mask upholds was real, that I do indeed want to talk to all humans, certainly not that I actually just want to run and hide in a deep dark black hole and be on my own.

The truth always outs they say, and ain’t that the truth indeed.

I can say however, that I have come to accept that I am oft misunderstood. And that you know what, it’s OK — because we all are. More than that, I frequently misunderstand others, getting it wrong all too often despite my thinking that I am intuitive and have a strong sense of others characters.
