In any interaction between two human beings, one of the most difficult things to understand and accept is how the other can see the same situation in the opposite way. This is particularly challenging in the case of a partnership or close friendship. While you are sure that you are being 'caring', the other sees your attitude as 'overbearing'. Your interest in their affairs is interpreted as invasion of privacy. Your need of a bit of alone time becomes for them moodiness and indifference. How to solve this problem? Sincere openness and sharing your feelings are a possibility, but not necessarily successful. Minds can be open to listening and understanding, but they can also be closed to accepting different ways of interpreting reality. Minds can be willing to mend a situation, but they can also be stubbornly firm in their position. So, if you need it, you can try but...be ready to take whatever the outcome may be!
