Activity 2

1. Have you experienced the same thing when you were misunderstood by others?
Castillo: Yes, I experienced misunderstood by others because of the tone of my voice, my facial
expression when I speak with them and the way how I laugh.
Cortez: Many times, because though I am very outspoken but I am not expressive when it comes
to what I feel. People tend to think I am insensitive but it is the other way around.
Calimpas: Yes, I experienced misunderstood by others the way I speak because they think that
I'm angry or threat them something. I'm kind and good person.
Catong: Yes, I have been misinterpreted by others because of the way I speak and the tone of my
voice. People often assume that I am angry with them or that I am yelling at them. I also
sometimes go straight to the point, without regarding for the possibility that my words would
offend someone.

2. Have you experienced the same thing when people did not listen to you? How did the
conversation go?
Castillo: Yes, especially to my father. This year I talked to him a lot of times that he should stop
drinking alcoholic drinks but sad to say he always ignore me.
Cortez: Yes, because there are times when I and my volleyball friends get along and we talk all
at once. And sometimes we couldn't identify who is talking to whom. We end up just laughing.
Calimpas: Definitely yes, When my mother told me that in this month of November she will go
abroad and I speak to her and say please do not go to abroad but she ignore me maybe because
she want us to live in a healthy and safe place.
Catong: Yes, back when I was in high school, I was always chosen to lead the mass dance, jingle
competition, and others. During practice, I easily get irritated, which is why I always shout and
unintentionally speak words that may have hurt them. Because of that, they don't like to listen to
me anymore, and because of that, I feel that no one is listening to me until I adjust myself to
understand them too.
