In email or in IM chat ... have you ever tried to say something in jets or had verbage been taken the wrong way because the recipient failes to see facial expressions or tone of voice so can not full understand they way the message was intended to be interpreted?

How bad has this misinterpretation made a situation for you?

Everyone I meet in person seems to like me just fine.

I find that I'm misunderstood on the Internet quite frequently.

Like you say, all personal stuff is missing, like voice tone, facial expression, etc.

Many people tell me that I talk with my eyes.

A lot of good that does in email. roll eyes

Like the saying goes,…

If what I said can be taken in two ways rest assured I meant it in the best possible way.

That's who I am.

If anyone gets negative vibes from me they are putting them in there themselves.

That's all I know.

Ahh, well.
YUP

but, then again, if they really wanna know, they can ask "are you upset...?"
This shouldn't be a big deal, but some things do get lost in translation.

There is alway webcam, and the telephone, too.

When I want to be alone, I don't answer the phone. I just shut it off, lol.

Very few do I use webcam...kathleen, roy, dreamer awhile back... a few more, maybe.

It has happened, yes. But, if I feel that something is or has a chance to be misunderstood, I try to clarify a.s.a.p.
