Do you hate explaining yourself to people?

Most times, when I'm having a conversation
with an adult, I am hoping they will
read a little bit into what I'm saying.
That way I don't have to be rude or direct.
But there are some people that want everything
spelled out for them.
Even my four year old can take a hint better
than these people.
Do you ever find yourself talking to someone
who just doesn't seem to "get it".
And you wonder if they're really paying attention
or if they're just messing with your mind?

I'm more the type that when I'm trying to prove a point, I never shut up. They may "get it" immediatly, but I continue to pound it in, just because that's how I am. So by the time I'm done, a brick wall would "get it" lol.

Maybe you're just intrigued by the
idea, so you keep going over and over it.
I have done that too.
It's the same idea, but you want
to cover more ground exploring
the interesting possibilities.
Nothing wrong with that.

Oh that drives me INSANE. Especially when I'm in, say, my chemistry lab. I've had a couple of lab partners that don't bother to take notes during the prelab class, and ask me a million questions. I figure I can give a basic answer and move on since I DID take the notes an I'm trying to do MY work since I can't be there over the allotted time without being late to work.
Hint? Not received. Oooh no. They demand all of my attention, require that I frickin baby them...I know we're talking about slightly different things but your topic made me think about how insane I get during labs when people REFUSE to let me just work on my OWN work. -sigh-

And they get you to do the work for them.
You have to draw the line, somewhere!

Over the years I've learned that it's better for me to be direct and out spoken then to hope that someone picks up on what I'm trying to say. There's less room for misunderstanding and ppl kind of know how I am now.

I get a flustered trying to explain myself especially if the people still doesn't understand what I mean. Luckily the people that i work with, understand my humor and do seem to get what I say. I do find myself explain somethings through but they do catch on with what I mean.

ofcourse this is not a pleasant situation!!
why explain your action when you know you have not done any wrong to any one!!
it is perhaps the misunderstanding in the mind of the person which you need to clarify!!
and explaining your own position is like as if you are clarifying your stand!!

Sometimes, I hate explaining myself to people. Case in point, I am sitting next to my husband. He is on his computer, I am on mine. I am not in the best of moods today, and he stops what he is doing and asks me "what are you doing". I just looked at him and said nothing. He knows what I am doing, I am on my computer, end of story.

These kind of people will definitely piss me off. Lol. I hate to explain everything to people. Sometimes there are lots of hints to figure out what we are talking about,I agree with your point. There are just some people who never seems to get what we say. For my case,if I firstly meet them,I will explain to them but after sometimes I get to know they are not getting what I am talking about,I will just stop to explain. I will let them to either figure out themselves or being puzzled for the rest of their lives. Lol.
