Anyone who knows me knows that one of my biggest pet peeves is dealing with people who make a habit out of jump to conclusions. Truth be told, I think it's something that we're all a little guilty of from time to time. Nevertheless, it's totally lazy and it helps no one.
I don't necessarily enjoy debating, but it's always interesting to hear an opposing viewpoint or two. What I absolutely loathe is when a person doesn't actually listen to what I've just said. The person takes a snippet of my words, filters them through their own lens, and responds harshly.
I never really know how to respond to such a person. It would be one thing if he or she disagrees with what I actually said, but how does one respond to someone who's emotionally responding to their own interpretation of a statement?
Depending on what the subject matter is, and who this person is to me, I tend to be inclined to diffuse the situation. However, sometimes I really just want to shake people and say, "What the heck are you talking about? That has nothing to do with what I said!" When it comes to some people, I've found that there's no talking them down after they've "figured out" what you meant- even though they're wrong.
As irritating as it may be, it also teaches me to be more aware of my own listening skills. Since I don't particularly like being on the receiving end of this behavior, I need to make sure I'm not putting someone else on it.
