Grow Up
Sometimes I just don’t understand people.
Why do people make basic communication so complicated? Why can’t they just say what’s on their mind? Why do they have to shroud their true intentions with mystery, anger, and drama?
Why is it so hard to tell people what you’re thinking?
I consider myself a pretty immature person. I’ve made some bad decisions in my life… but in the past two years I’ve really had to grow up. I’m not saying my decisions have gotten any smarter, but at least now I think about them a little harder than I used to. And one of the conscious efforts I’ve made is to clearly communicate what I want/need/feel to others in my life.
No games. No garbage.
A lot of good it’s done me. Because people *still* have a warped impression of what I’m trying to communicate, and my *lead by example* hasn’t done a damn bit of good.
Some people just like to play games. I’m not one of them. And quite frankly, I’m sick of people who do.

You know, I get the distinct impression that you are trying to say something here. Possibly, to someone in particular.
I’m not sure, though, so I could be wrong.

My Theory on bad communication( by reason of character fault):
Because people have seen to many examples of personified characters on TV, Which are not a real character, they are made up!!!! Made up to fit this entertainment mode mostly!!! So individuals take these comparatives of characters which are not real.
Sat with a good friend last night, talked for a few hours, even discussed how our character has little to do with learning experience, and each of us trying to pull examples up to proof or illustrate it is or is not.
As for understanding people. I think that takes friends. I cant imagine how long it would take without friends. Don’t think it possible without friends. I am not that smart by myself, with my friends I am.

Wait, do video games count as this game playing you speak of? How about Monopoly?
