Some time ago, a friend and I had a playful banter — through texting — about “You won’t like me when … “.  I thought our back-and-forth not only helped us to get to know one another but, more importantly, showed the misperceptions versus the realities we each face.

18th. 10:24 a.m. You won’t like me because I work a lot! And am deeply passionate about my work. It will get on your nerves eventually.

10:26 a.m.: You won’t like me someday because I will be fickle or change my mind and do things spontaneously.

10:27 a.m.: You won’t like me because I will be involved and you will feel neglected.

10:28 a.m.: you won’t like me because things come up/pop up and U will feel  ignored in my firefighting lifestyle.

10:31: you won’t like me when I am later than I said I would be and you are waiting for me.

10:34 a.m.  You won’t like me when I am hurt because I will lash out and am vocal. You won’t like me even if we are having a passionate discussion and I raise my voice and you will accuse me of yelling at you.

10:36 a.m.: You won’t like me when I am cocky and social. It will make you hate being out with me.

10:40 a.m.: You won’t like me because instead of asking me if I am yelling at you, you will tell me not to yell at you at some point. I won’t be yelling I am just excited, frustrated, or adamant about something and emotions make it more poignant.

10:40:45 a.m.: You won’t like it that I talk in my sleep.

10:41 a.m.: You won’t like me when I go into my “cave” and don’t let you in.
