Perceptions

On my last post I used the word placate in conjunction with my current housemates and know now that was wrong. Perception is a tricky thing, you can think you know what someone is saying, what they mean but miss the connotation entirely. What sucks is that I've also learned how insensitive I've been these last 6 or so months. I've had a lot on my plate but didn't realize that the ones closest to me were actually getting spoken to (by me) in ways I would normally never dream of. Things that they perceived were definitely not the way I meant them. Perception... so tricky.
