Have you ever realized you misunderstood someone’s feelings? How did you handle it?

[Deep]

About mine yes, I apologized, actively listened, and clarified their feelings to ensure better understanding. I asked questions, showed empathy, and adjusted my approach to improve communication, making sure they felt heard and valued in our conversation.

I'm a smooth talker and very quick on my feet. I have the ability to fix things whether verbally or physically so this presents no issue for me at all.

Misunderstanding feelings is common for me, I am not an expert to understand people. However, I am also a person who can be apologetic when needed. If I hurt someone one's feelings, I can ask for forgiveness, and I even try to mend the damages.

I have misunderstood people sometimes. And it is always as a result of lack of proper communication. I always feel very bad when I realize that I misunderstood someone especially when it is that I treated the person bad because of that misunderstanding.

This happens to all of us, no matter how careful we claim to be. When it happened to me I owned up to it and apologized, I did not start giving excuses.

I’ve misunderstood someone’s feelings, like thinking a friend was upset with me when they were just stressed. I handled it by apologizing sincerely over coffee at our local café, listening to their perspective, and clarifying my intentions.

There are times that I misinterpret the genuine care of people to seem like they want to harm me. And just get to realize later that they were actually out for me. I always sincerely apologize to them for misunderstanding them. That's why we should not always rush into conclusions with people perspectives without proper evaluation.
