Here’s how this one goes:
Susan says something totally innocuous and instead of taking her words at face value John hears something invasive and critical…
And then ( and here comes the 'projectile' part…) John responds with a nasty, angry retort…
After all Susan did say something mean to begin with, didn't she?
Well, no. It really was innocuous, but something happened between her mouth and his ears to distort the message…
And then of course, Susan really is upset! John was awful to her out of nowhere! A real argument gets under way and they are off and running! Yikes!
This ever happen to you?
What do you think causes this distortion?
(PS Check in tomorrow for some interesting answers…)
