Spoken
word vs written word….
Over the
years, I have been accused of being mad when I write a note to someone.. Even
at work. It came up at a meeting.. when
one of my bosses, mention that I had wrote an angry note. I asked if she still
had it.. she did… I asked for it. She got it and handed it to me.. Before I read it, I asked her why she thought
I was mad when I wrote it.. She said it
just sounded like it… So I held up the note…… and read it.. I read it just
matter factly, like I had in mind when I wrote it.
She said..
well, it doesn’t sounds so bad when you read it.. I told her, that was just the way I meant
it.. Again, I asked her why she thought
I was upset.. Do I have an anger tone to
my voice when I usually talk…. She
replied, no. so why would you assume I
was mad?
It happens
a lot to a lot of us.. I have seen on Facebook where some one will have to
explain that they didn’t mean to upset someone.. And that person, explain they
were not upset. They were just stating the facts with no emotion in mind.
I once ask
… what do I have to do to get across that I am not upset over what I am writing? Put smiley faces after the sentence or maybe
before it?
Does one
have to explain? How they are feeling
when they write a note or letter? Do we
assume from a person’s personality that they get upset easy?
