People hear what they want to hear…

Have you ever told someone something…pretty direct, very clear. And they still found a way to NOT hear what you said? They turned it around, or just completely omitted parts?

People only hear what they want to hear. You can call it selective listening or whatever you want. But a lot of people (not all) get so set on what they want from you, that it doesn’t matter what you tell them. Or how you tell them. Or how many times you tell them.

They only hear what fits into their narrative.

As soon as you suspect this is happening, reconsider the relationship. This is unhealthy and it can even be dangerous. You deserve someone who hears you. Who really hears you. Even when you are saying things they wish you weren’t saying. You deserve someone who really listens to what you’re saying.
