[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like people often misinterpret what I say and do, and then don’t listen when I try to explain.

[b]Often it seems like they read a lot into my words/actions and refuse to take them at face value, and I don’t understand why.[/b]

Am tired of explaining myself (and being disregarded anyway). Every time this happens makes me want to just withdraw and avoid people because it’s so draining and frustrating.[/quote]
You might not present as sincere.

At a certain point if something is always happening to you, you have to change your behavior. [/quote]

Many times it is deceptive people that interpret others as insincere/fake/deceptive b/c that is how they operate and assume other do as well. As a previous poster said it'e their projection on to you.[/quote]
Yea not likely in this case since OP is saying everyone doesn’t understand her. When everyone doesn’t understand you then you are the problem. [/quote]

Exactly. Also, OP, important to note not only what you say but how you say it (overall tone, body language, expressions etc).

My mom struggles with something similar and one thing I do notice is she is very intense and earnest and has a hard time recognizing nuance in a conversation, sarcasm, or joking. She has always felt misunderstood by the people around her but I think she just has a hard time connecting in general, like she doesn’t understand basic social mannerisms. [/quote]
