Another example of misunderstanding I recently had was when I told my exployess they could dress casually on the weekend. Guess people's definition of "casual" varies • the sender of the message was myself • the receivers were my staff • the message was "you can dress casual on the weekends if you work" • face-to-face in a group setting • the misunderstanding was my staff wearing worn looking jeans and a hoodie to work that next weekend.

I was too worried about what I looked like or sounded like, so ultimately I had lost “my voice.” I went to my dad for more help.

Just because you’ve heard about me at school doesn’t mean you can call me whatever you please.” “Why are you so defensive? I was simply trying to make conversation because clearly you are in need of new friends.
