Default Miles over someone's head



Have you ever said something that was directed at a person, but somehow through some incredible odds, the point sailed like 50 miles over their head?

Dealing with people of all varying walks in another community that i'm in has made me feel this uptick recently, and I'm wondering what the factors really are. Part of me wants to say in the day and age where young people get access to the internet and chat servers and the like, people don't actually take the care to process words correctly, or even see contextually who they're talking to. Often there's this disconnect where there's a 13 or less year-old being super hyper and trying to get attention from server owners which feels really annoying, and even when told to stop, they seem to absolutely miss the point.

Maybe it's internet anonymity or something, where they don't realize they're talking to someone nearly double their age, where in real life I think the realization of like, the age gap, behavioral gap, etc. becomes more apparant

starting to ramble, but tl;dr people miss points that you think are super obviously made towards them LOL

I absolutely love that .gif

I can't really speak to the behavior gap, but I definitely think some people just don't want to listen. Technically they don't have to, but the sooner you discover your conversational partner is like this, the sooner you can disengage

It's the difference between a dialectical/Socratic discussion versus an actual debate. Debaters don't adjust their opinions midway; they have an agenda, whether that be political or based in ego.

If one side doesn't understand (or doesn't want to understand) how the other side approach a topic, it's very likely the point will be missed.

Some people are really good at this and seize others really well while others may get the wrong idea almost constantly until someone inform them of why they have the wrong idea.

It depends on how invested you are into understanding others.

I'm on both sides of this depending on what's the topic so, I see this fairly frequently.

I guess the main idea in this topic is how expectations can vary immensely from one person to another depending on their life experience to the point that something simple for someone can be nonsense for another.
