I have a confession to make. I will be 31 next month and I am still single. Well, to say that I am "single" is an understatement. Not only am I single but I am also do not have any really close friends. In fact, I would go as far as saying that I haven't really had a lot of success with people. I have often found myself in fall-outs with so many people and on many occasions that I have often left talks feeling emotionally destroyed.
There has been times when I have questioned my own ability to communicate to people successfully, and there has also been times where I have felt that I am simply destined to find myself in an argument at some point.
Many people claim that I "take things too literally" and that is because many people in my life communicate in ways that I simply do not understand. Many people use phrases and other forms of indirect language that mentally take me in the wrong direction. This has often lead me to be either confused or offended by their words.
However, I have now realised that most of the mishaps that have had in verbal communication is not my fault because I have grown up in an environment where most people often speak without conscience and are often not even aware of the words that they are saying. I have come to the conclusion that maybe it is simply not trying to be too close to somebody as it often ends in heartbreak in the end.
Maybe I will have a girlfriend one day, but I guess I've just got to accept that not many people think about language the same way that I do.
