Occasionally, there has been this selective hearing people around me. I am not sure if I am sensitive or it is for real. Anyway, I choose to believe it is for real. Why? Because everytime I am telling some information, those people tends to only pick and remember those that caught their attention and filtered out those that is not in favour to them. Those filtered information is actually completing my whole story, can't you understand???
It is so true, or I believe so, which keep my mouth shuts most of time. Well, it is not that I did not try to talk at all, I did, but in the end I feel agitated. So, less words, less misinterpretation!!! It does not necessarily means I am dumb or I am coward. It is just plainly because being around these selective hearing people does not make the conversation a pleasant one. I have to repeat and repeat my whole sentence, but still, people keep focusing on the point that is favourable to them ignoring the rest of the information. It irritates me further when they ask the same "filtered" point again and again, just to make sure I confirm it... I have said so... grrrr!!!
That's where gossips of all kinds begin. The original story is A, in the end turns out to be A- or A+ or even B. Be real, get a life!

Totally know what you mean. And you know what, it's very common in our Malaysian culture here la. People just don't know how to listen sometimes. It's irritating and sad at the same time.
Yeap, it is. Converse just to make some untrue but favorable gossip of their very own!
