Thanks M for your reply. I’m wrestling BIG TIME with how people hear (talking) or read (text messages) words and can get absolutely the wrong message, because of the way THEY interpret what another person says.  Hearing or reading the words can take on completely and incredibly different meanings that way, and cause so many problems.  That’s what a lot of what I’m going through has been about.

I’m feeling like I will think ten times before I text again, and even then be SUPER careful about what I say. On the other hand I feel like I won’t be able to leave home or use the phone for fear of saying something that someone takes the wrong way. I will be nervous about opening my mouth.

Have you ever been through that sort of thing ?
