Yes, I am waiting for a callback for counselling. He's willing to try it, but isn't enthusiastic.

I am willing to patiently work through communication issues, high sensitivity, and even trauma.

I am at a complete loss, however, with someone who continues to insist I said something I am 100% sure I did not say. This has happened many times. He hears something drastically different than what I said and he continues to believe what he thinks he heard, even when I explain it. Even when my explanation, to me, is totally rational.

What do you do? It just doesn't seem workable. You end up with a stalemate and resentment for something that never even happened.
