Confusions

People find me too long-winded sometimes.

But seriously, most of the time, I'm not. That gets me misunderstood on occasions. My MBTI test says that I'm INTJ; that means that I'm an intuitive and thinking person i.e. I think a lot and I look at the big picture, the outcome.

That's the way I tend to explain things to people, I miss out the details, especially the obvious ones and just emphasize on the outcome. Most of the time not even the full explanation of the outcome, just the parts that are important, cos the whole outcome would just be too much detail.
Most of the times, people just take what I say and trust me, or take a bit of to think through and understand, or see the parts I left out eventually.

Once in a while comes someone who is lazy or not so capable of thinking through, who would request for me to back track and explain, step by step, how I arrive at my outcome. I don't mind that. The irony is that these are the same people, whom when I explain things to them by the parts, often interrupt me with their "I know liao, I know liao!" in a tone that holds the hidden message of "no need to be so long-winded." Or when I reached the end with the outcome, they would ask "why didn't you just say so?"

P.S. The final 2 paragraphs are especially for those that I described in the 4th paragraph. Hope this is detailed enough for you, and I did say so; in the first 2 paragraphs
