Sort of playing with words. So then I go back the next week and discuss it and they STILL say "you misinterpreted what I said" and they push that envelope. Really irritates me. I feel very disrespected every time they do it. Not sure how many ways you can interpret the sentence "you are lazy". Do they think I am stupid or something? THAT is what makes me angry. I don't like it when people treat me like some sort of idiot, lol.

CHALLENGE: (Don't read if you don't want to be challenged.)
Is it possible there is a voice
inside you saying you are lazy?
Perhaps repeating what a parent used to say?
This sounds like a classical case of cognitive distortion (hearing something other than what was said), particularly if it has happened with more than one T. This still happens to me from time to time.
I'm sure this is not what you believe and
definitely not what you want to hear, but the mind can play tricks.
