A lot of my experiences where I have been misunderstood is quite often when I am having discussions about issues or topics among other people. This is especially if the particular topic is quite sensitive, and the person who completely misunderstood my message is very sensitive on it as well. Usually when Im addressing my issue, I tend to remain neutral about it because there might be several people who I'm communicating with that may disagree on it. But sometimes, I also like to stand firm with my point because I feel very strong about my opinion, and I want others to understand my messege. They may not agree on it, but at least they understood.
One example of when I'm mostly misunderstood by other people are through "text messeges" (this may apply to others as well). Sometimes, no matter how detailed I can be when typing my messages, and also if I'm not even using shortcut words with it, it still aggrevates me often that some people can still misunderstand what I said! I can tell they've highly misunderstood my messege because of reasons such as "responding back with a totally unrelated topic", or obviously just asking me restate my message one more time.
Indeed, it is quite agreeable that "meanings are in people, not in words". Even if you're talking face to face to another person, there is still a chance that you can get misunderstood. And to make it even worse, if you try to communicate with communications such as text messages, it will be more likely that your spoken word can get misled.

Recently,I had a misunderstanding between me and my friend. We weren't talking since 1 month for the same reason.My friend thought I was busy but no I was actually angry with her.She didn't know what happened and thar misunderstanding took place due to a small mistake done by my other friend,this resulted in breaking of friendship.
I felt sad. I decided to resolve this matter as how much time would this quarrel and matter could be continued! I talked with my friend about this.. She was surprised and said she didn't know that I was angry on her. we talked,and resolved the matter.
Everything's just good ^_^
