But, when you say something and it is perceived otherwise, what happens then? Do you keep a list of mistakes? Frequently, we all hear stories of one person bringing up a "list" of things that went wrong, freely pointing out the fault of others.
It's been a hot topic on social media that women use the self-depreciating posturing by over-using an apology. When you take your perceptions and apply them to group action - not an individual or a sub-group - it just doesn't make much sense. These perception problems stem from the erosion of manners. ["Pardon me" doesn't imply fault; it doesn't require a response or blame - and since there isn't an actual infraction there is NO need for an apology. It doesn't give all the power to the other person like "sorry" does. Lackluster manners contribute to social ills - good manners should be at the top of everyone's to-do list - and when children see adults acting their age, the good role model will carry to a further generation.]
Perception is also very different based on personal background and educational training. Generally, it wouldn't be a straight link to think of a physicist talking about a beautiful life. They consider small parts and velocity and heat, right?
A scientist that wins the Nobel Prize actually can think about art and history and music in a non-scientist way. The perception of "appreciating the complex" is very interesting when this particular man talks about the beauty of nature.

Consider someone else's point of view - you might learn a thing or two.
