MISUNDERSTANDING OR CONFLICT

We all have passed for many situations, specially misunderstandings.

Sometimes they could give us troubles or fun moments. You should pay
attention to what you are told or you could misunderstand something said
by another person.

For example, when I was at university in my second year, I used to live

with my girlfriend and I often asked her what kind of things she liked. One
day I asked her what her favorite food was and she said, “I would like
arroz con pollo for lunch.” But I understood that she wanted white rice
with chicken on it. Obviously, she was really disappointed when she
arrived home and didn’t want to eat it. We ended up eating in a
restaurant.

Another misunderstanding was at school in 2012. I was kind of dating a

classmate for a long time. After months, I asked her if she wanted to be
my girlfriend. At the moment, she didn’t answer me, but we continued
talking. I thought she wanted time to answer. Suddenly, after a month,
she hugged me and said, “happy first month, it is five!”. I was really
confused, I had a girlfriend out of nothing. I told her that I was happy for
our first month anniversary, but there was a huge question mark in my
head.

I think I have had more misunderstandings on my life, at home, at school,

in classes. Small ones like buying another thing when my mom tells me to
buy something, or when your friend introduces someone to you and you
forget their name and so on.

To conclude, misunderstandings are part of our life. So when you have

one, remember that there will be more coming. Try to get the best of
them, sometimes they help you to improve in some things or they could
also give you funny moments.
