Mixed Signals

Maybe

I hate them big time!

I mean why are people afraid of being honest and saying what actually is on their minds? It is such a tiring and confusing process to be analyzing what people mean. If only people can be clearer, then I would understand them the first time and not feel like I am in the middle of Misjudgement Land.

Mixed signals are especially annoying when it comes to relationships between men and women. I just hate people who are not straightforward about their feelings and thoughts and simply the way they present themselves. Mixed signals can be really hurtful.

    This is a very interesting subject! You inspired me to write a post about this.. it’s a very common issue now! And very disturbing.. many of my friends are going through this..

    Yeah… well.. people sometimes give mixed signals when they are confused… we all find ourselves in a point that we don’t know what we want sometimes, and is people wants to be straightforward, there is always a change of losing something beautiful going on, I know it’s not the best feeling ever, actually it’s the worst feeling ever, bur you’ll find yourself dealing with it at some point…

    “relationships between men and women”

    do u think All ready to hear the honest thing …
    i don’t thing so , u might think and believe its COOL with u , but trust me NOT ALL time it is …

    its nice to be clear and other understand what going up in ur mind , but some times u need to hide things give Hints instead of say it Franck ,

    i lost alot of Friend just cuz am honest with them ,

    Ladies not always get mens thoughts good, even if i told u what is going up in mind to me as man its 100% ok normal , but if u hear it you might say WHAT THE HELL UR TALKING ABOUT … to me what in MIND is IN MIND , not ready to be shared unless it going to be understandable Right,

    when u ask HONEST u need to handle it ,

    i told her am do i have a chance for serious relationship , ask a CHANCE not telling her am in love or i like or ..etc .. simple honest Q’s before any thing happen and MISUNDERSTAND later

    end with SORRY things OVER between us !!!!!

    a lot of things happen like this in diff. subject too , to me its OK say NO and we are cool we can be friend , but she start analysis and think too much … and see to say OVER better

    so in both cases you going to think and analysis …

    i never thought that being Honest going be hard , i even when be with guys , not all accepted ..

    but am with you mixed sing also confused …

    nice post

    I totally agree. One of the things that I admire about my fiance is that he was shockingly straightforward :D

    Hala… look who’s talking … you’re the MOST MIXED signals person I’ve ever seen …
    So entertain us … WHY do you send out mixed signals?

    Being Honest and clear is not always something positive.

    There are things that are better left hidden or untold.

    tell me about it !! :smilie bettawabb:

    Hala it’s a really important issue u got there! I mean i think sayra mooda that people talk in signals. They think it makes them sound mysterious or cool lol.

    Before I comment on all of you,

    Qwaider: What? No that is not true! If I am not sure of something, I rather not give any kind of signals whether they are positive or negative. Maybe people would misunderstand me because I am shy? But no mixed signals!

    General Note: I think men are more confusing than women when it comes to this issue, simply because women love to talk and express themselves. Most women would tell you what is going right and what is going wrong even if it was, you know, hurtful. They expect men would understand and fix it. However, men do not like to talk, and they hate to express themselves (For some mysterious reason), they want women to get it like it is a magic spell or something. Well, last time I checked, we were still on Earth where things go the manual way :)

    so hala you are trying to tell me that you are clear and direct when you deal with people and all the people around you understand you 99%?

  13. 2007 April 28

    No. In fact, most people do not get me. However, I am mainly talking about relationships between men and women. There is a difference between you not being able to understand me and me giving out mixed signals implying different things about myself. A misunderstanding can be solved, but mixed signals can be a problem because some people do it intentionally.

    Tell me about it… If only one could figure out these mixed signals…

  15. 2007 April 29

    i think its the fear of being too open. for some its just to add more spice, the fear of boredom ya3ni. and for others, its the fear of rejection..

    w fi nas bet7eb tetsalla bi 3awa6ef il bashar :smily bished sha3ro: w hadol number 2 on my hate-list!

    so you don’t give people (or just men ) any mixed signals ?

    Theone: No I do not.

    Thank you all for the feedback, I still am pissed off at people who give out mixed signals. It just keeps getting more confusing. I decided to let things go and not care. Eventually, they will come back with an explanation.

    I hate mixed signals, too. Like when a guy says ‘no,’ but his body language is saying something completely different. I hate that so…friggin’…much.
