I teach people all the time that you can be saying all the right words, but the tone of your voice or your non-verbal communicate can cancel out that message. Actions and vocal tone definately speak louders than words!Le'Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06449581959319433312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-89318357732821602782013-03-11T20:17:27.118-04:002013-03-11T20:17:27.118-04:00I wouldn't argue with yourself on this one if ...I wouldn't argue with yourself on this one if you were fine with it, Dave - after all, how many times have we heard people say "But I meant well!" when their tone and/or body language screamed patronization! And then we are accused of being oversensitive! *banging head against wall*<br /><br />In this case, apparently they ACTUALLY DID! You'd know otherwise. I'd just go with that and be happy about it.Rachel in Idahonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-85370498426636842402013-03-11T15:08:42.242-04:002013-03-11T15:08:42.242-04:00No question the meaning of what someone is saying ...No question the meaning of what someone is saying all about tone, look, body language and intention.

In this case, you had a good impression, and that's just as reliable as the times when you've had a bad impression.<br />It's one of those abilities that seem to be fundamental, part of our basic human emotional equipment, and we often talk ourselves out of those impressions, but usually they are spot on.<br />Good for you, and good for them!!Jeannettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05909196786266434960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-28854304746793039372013-03-11T11:39:21.012-04:002013-03-11T11:39:21.012-04:00Tone is everything.Tone is everything.theknappernoreply@blogger.com
