Chased by misunderstandings

Have you ever felt hunted....followed by one or the other misunderstandings whereever you go?
Whatever you do...with full honesty....and clear conscious....suddenly is taken with suspicion...and negativity....?
I am sure many of us have faced this situation sometime or other in our lives...
The trick lies in not letting it affect you and managing to come out of it unscarred and with a smile, and at the same time keeping your relationships.....afloat.....
Sounds easy? Believe me...it isn't!!
To quote one example....I saw a recent official meeting turning into a blame game...where someone was blaming and almost accusing the other of doing something...that the other was really shocked to hear! Because as far as the other person was concerned...he never meant any of his actions to be taken as the way they had been ....and had in all honesty ....just been himself! :)
Seeing the shocked reactions on his face and the incredulous look in his eyes...I felt sorry for the poor guy....who was being accused of not being a team player and non-communication....by a girl who was just his opposite...in terms of attitude and behaviour!
This is what happens when we read too much in each others actions, words, behaviour....without giving them a benefit of doubt and bothering to ask them directly instead of throwing accusations at them!

I also faced something similar recently...
Where a friend read too much into my actions and mistook it for a personal offence ....whereas I had only acted with no such intentions.....
And being me...I HATE justifying something ...which I think is no fault of mine....

So, what are we left with??
A hurt friend...
A hurt and bewildered me
And a wavering relationship.....

Sigh!!!!

How can a Miss that is under standing chase someone? Were both of them at the same floor? :)
