Again analyzing my message to Stephanie, I find myself wondering why my initial messages are so... off putting. It's like I can't turn off that know-it-all mode. I need to look at my own messages from a third person point of view in order to understand how the other person would view my messages.
I'm still thinking about Julie and the message I sent her. Even though she most likely don't want any to do with me after that night, I feel that she might have misinterpreted my message to her. I also feel that she might think that I was lying to her. My previous messages included apologizing to her, but never included the imagining part. From my perspective, it's the truth, but from her perspective it seems like I was lying and constantly changing my story. I screwed up.
Note to self: Make sure the other person sees from the same perspective as you do, make sure there is no room for interpretation.
