I’ve been involved in a lot of misunderstanding, and lately it has become one of my specialties. Either I made other people misinterpret what I meant or I’m the one who got the wrong idea. It keeps on happening.
So these are the steps on HOW TO CAUSE A MISUNDERSTANDING:
1. Use gestures and signs instead of words and sentences.
2. Use one or more messenger(s) to form a message chain instead of informing straightly to the person himself.
3. Use short-forms, unfamiliar words or much better; a different language.
4. Practice whispering in public.
5. Instead of mentioning the exact time or the name of a place and/or a person, replace them with much more common phrase like “that place” or “usual time” or just “him/her”.
6. Assume people will always understand what you say.
7. Never use emotions. Ever.
8. Always use one-way communications. E.g. SMS instead of call, emails instead of chatting, notes instead of face-to-face interaction.
9. Always takes what people say, especially jokes, seriously.
10. Stick to assumptions. Don’t ask.
Conclusion:
Misunderstanding is an ACCIDENT that CAN BE PREVENTED.
It may not take lives like what accident between vehicles usually did, but it can break a heart and that is unnecessary for something that could be avoided.

haha we share the same problem. tapi aku lain sikit. bila cakap ngn orang aku akan nampak seperti penakut sebab aku takut orang kecik ati atau salah paham ngn aku.n sampai skang aku xdapat solusi camne nak berkomunikasi ngn orang dengan lancar tanpa ade ke kekokkan disitu.ade saran?
ade. pandang bawah bila berckp.
@the dr: hmm...ni bukan masalah salah faham, tp cara komunikasi berkesan kot. Nak tanye dulu, semua communication atau dgn girls je?
@anonymous: ini solution utk the dr ke? ke lg satu cara nk cause misunderstanding?
dengan girls dan juga selain orang yang aku rapat.
tau tak kalo kita ltak tpk tgn kat pipi smbil tongkat dagu tanda we're not interested with his/her explanation?
avoid that kalo tgh consult patient :)
@the dr: sori lamaaaaaa sgt br reply. dh smpi msia br tenang sket. Maybe perlu byk latihan je kot. Some people senang berubah, tp byk yg susah. So dont push urself too hard, rasenya org tak salah faham pun kot. Just communication tu jd quite awkward je la... to be a good doctor, u need to overcome shyness. Biasenye doctor patient relationship takde masalah sbb perception dah terbentuk dgn jelas. Rather than socializing kat conference, parties, tu mmg concious sket la sbb ade pressure to make an impression. Kalo ngan patient dah ok, i think no need to change things too much. Just adapt with the environment, but still be who u r.
@Shafiq: owh...kalo tu mmg kena sgt dielakkan. Tp itu bukan just buat salah faham, tapi a gesture yg mmg saje cari pasal...hihi benda yg dh jelas2 akan menyinggung perasaan, kena elakkan... itu pasal respect pula la...
