People usually just take us in face value. They go by what we say, they never try to see through us and understand what we really mean as opposed to what we say.
But mostly women, they expect others to understand what they really mean, instead of what they say. We expect others to understand every nuance about us, and it just doesn't work that way.
I didn't understand it myself for a long time. People just don't look that deep into anyone, even if they know you so very well. Only therapists are in that job and they are consntanly looking beneath the surface. And even that, many therapists take us at face value. Nobody else is really that competent.
