The ultimate social challenge and I accept
To be honest, I'm not good at interpersonal dynamics. Surprisingly, I don't really seem to know how to pick up on social cues that seem to come naturally to most people. Mostly, it's because I don't have the patience to deal with it but it's possible there are some other minimal factors as well. Now, to be clear, this is not related to social anxiety. I've given this a lot of thought, and I am certain of that.
I'm not one to blame others, but it sure would be a lot easier if people just said what they mean and what they expect instead of turning it into an elaborate guessing game. I guess where I am going with all this is that with other people being the way they are, the burden is on me to figure out what they don't have the courage to say outright and help them out by making decisions on what they actually mean or intend based on their facial expressions and body language. So, that's going to be a change (a big change) for me. And I will need to do this in real-time. It's going to be the ultimate challenge. If I'm successful, this could be the ultimate gamechanger. This time, I'm ready.
