What is the one thing that people always get wrong about you?

I do this thing where if i'm in a group i tend to stay quiet.
Not for any reason other than either A.I have nothing to add to what's already being said. Or B I'm too interested in what other contributors are saying.

Yet somehow that always gets misconstrued or mis-interpreted as me being 'judgemental'. Especially by some who are a bit sensitive on certain issues.

like: It bothers them, how dare it not bother me !

@Picklebobble2 Silence can be interpreted as being judgemental. I feel people need validation for every comment

@Hanging2 Having worked in social work for thirty+ years i can tell you, staff meetings or training sessions it so often comes out that somebody is looking for complete validation for their feelings or bahaviour during any given issue.

@Picklebobble2 I get the opposite. I talk a lot so people assume that I do not listen...it is not true

@BabyLonia Do you talk a lot because you have much to say or because you feel you ought to say a lot ?

@Picklebobble2 I am a chatty person. I have a lot to contribute as well.

Also I process thought by talking about them and discussing ideas so I enjoy the discussion

@BabyLonia Fairplay. 🙂
