Why I have been misunderstood as an arrogant person
0A brief insight in to one struggle I have with people interactions, which was difficult to understand for a very long time because people do not explain to me how they feel and why.
For people who prefer to consume this video content as text, here is my script:
Why I have been misunderstood as an arrogant person?
This is an educated guess, based on a relatable YouTube
video I will link in the description below for any one interested,
but the short version is that people assume I am arrogant,
based of the way that I talk and approach information,
with out confirming why I communicate in the way that I do.
I clearly remember being called arrogant by a family member
and a person I met, who claims to be Autistic.
Other people probably silently judged me as arrogant, but I do not know.
This might explain why multiple people in my life have suddenly stopped talking to me
and stopped replying to my messages, only to slowly and passive aggressively abandon me.
Firstly, I have a growth mind set, meaning I am less interested in the current state of things or people,
and I am more interested in how things could be improved for future.
I am guessing this can seem arrogant, because I would talk about my self or other people,
like there is always room for improvement, which I believe in a very positive way.
But may be people mis interpret this as me saying they are not good enough?
I am not sure.
I highly value the idea, that we can make this world or our experiences better, with the simple act
of continuous effort and continuous improvement.
Another example, is I am skeptical of all or most things I hear, until I receive enough supporting evidence,
to prove enough to me, that some thing may be true.
May be this is related to my life experiences of intense struggles,
as some one very different to the people around me,
but I prefer not to blindly believe some thing,
until there is enough specific details to prove enough that this thing may be true.
May be this seems arrogant to some people, because I would also not trust experts, if the only thing they have
said or suggested, is some thing generic or difficult to understand, that may not apply to me,
especially as I am some one with a very unique brain, unique personality type, and unique experiences.
Long story short, I have a very specific way of thinking, including the growth mind set,
which has no intent to offend people, but I choose to be careful of which information I decide to believe is true,
because I understand that information is very easily corrupted, or poorly communicated, as this information has been passed around across
multiple people, with not enough supporting evidence.
Also, the conversations I have are typically complex in nature where most people are likely to misunderstand, including my self,
so I prefer to verify why we believe specific things are true.
I also actively question and review my own thoughts and ideas about various things too, not just from other people.
Thanks for watching.
