The little munchkin doesn't have any awareness of how he comes across or how others may view him. To him, if he (thinks that he) knows the facts and someone gets something slightly wrong he will correct them in quite a stern tone (adults and children). Maybe he will become aware as he gets older and learn to self regulate but we are definitely not there yet :rotfl:

Well good on him - putting people right:D. No, I don't mean that!:o:rotfl: To me, if someone told me I'd got something wrong, as long as they were right, I'd say 'thank you very much for telling me', and that would be a genuine thank you, and then I'd change my approach or view so that it was right. I have no problem being corrected - as long as the correction is right (if it's not, I'll argue it's not to a tee). As long as it is rational and soundly based.

It's what people ought to do - put people right. Then everyone would be right:D. In another world:rotfl:.

From one perspective, "it's you lot - you don't like being corrected and can't stand others doing so/get upset when they do". However, there is something called doing it with tact. Which we don't have (although this last bit is put simplistically).

I'm sure, at some stage, a logical flaw will exist in my approach and they'll be an occasion on which someone corrects me and I get upset about it. I don't think the stern tone is necessarily intended - sometimes tone isn't even perceived by the person using that tone and sometimes people do things and aren't aware that they are doing them (such as using a stern tone, or maybe the tone doesn't quite come out in the way they intended - that can, on rare occasions, be a problem I have or have this inane grin on my face when something very serious is being talked about and don't even realise I have a grin.

I don't know if people generally realise what a burden self-regulation puts on us. It can be such a huge, continual and exhausting effort and I tend to think about things - everything - in far more depth that anyone else, who just seem to do these things naturally and without having to think about them. Almost everything with me is an active thought and an attempt not to e.g. sometimes I don't feel myself moving in space and continue walking beyond what I intended, and end up in someone else's personal space:o (oops) - it can happen. I think that's also part of why I bump into things quite a lot and how moving through the house is sometimes like an obstacle course, and contributes to/is part of the clumsiness that is a feature of the syndrome.

The fact is that people generally don't like being put right and therefore we have a world in which people continue to hold incorrect views or are plain wrong all the time and nothing is ever put right. (Sigh.)

What happens is you learn to deal with that being the way it is, come to accept it, keep your mouth shut and nothing is ever put right and things continue on in their incorrect way:doh:. Not to worry - the rooster finally bites them on the bum in about ten years' time, when people finally realise their own way that what they were doing was incorrect, just like I predicted to myself (but kept quiet) about all along and could have avoided all the years of fruitless things going on the way they did. Inevitable failure - smug thought of "I told you so". Except I didn't - because people (I felt, whether rightly or wrongly) would have been unable to take the criticism or there was no way in which I could put it in a tactful way without it coming unintentionally across as being wrong, as oral communication is the very problem area, so I don't even bother to try to do so. (Be assured though - it's all in my head, the way other people behave and I've noted it:D. To fruitless effect probably, erm...:rotfl::rotfl:)

However, I've been around the block now several times (not in that way) and, from experience, learned that is the way people generally are. I think the vast majority of people are like this - you won't admit it, but you are!:)

However, regardless of any impression that some or even many(:eek:) people might have, I don't have anything against people generally and there is no axe-grinding at all. (I don't possess such tools:rotfl:.) Just plain-speaking, and therefore probably out of turn!:)

For you, though, from your POV, I don't think people generally could change - people generally are stuck between a hard and a hard place and if one individual 'person generally' did decide to go against the grain and behave differently, I don't think that would be acceptable to other people generally and the social pressure to make them conform back would be decisive. (But, so, it's not necessarily intentional on the part of the general person - apart from there is a way to put things and things, including sometimes truth, do upset people sometimes and, if something upsets you, it's not necessarily something you can control and is often through no fault of your own. Sometimes I don't realise I've upset someone when I have, sometimes I think I've upset someone when I haven't (and then end up cutting myself up internally over that and no-one else around me realises that that is happening), but generally I think I do fairly well in not upsetting others as it's not a total deficit - I do have a deal of ability to recognise when others are upset - tone of voice can help and I'm not totally tone-of-voice-deaf but other things too - not clear-cut and can't be put down in black and white - I'm not the one to deal with others when they are upset though - I leave that to everyone else - as I often just don't know what to say in that situation - fortunately I get well through life without upsetting people and don't go out of my way to do so, I've kept talking and not realised the other person was bored though! (And breathe, I think:rotfl::rotfl:, not really written that well but the meaning is clear. To me:rotfl:.)
