There are always a couple of peculiar characteristics in me that I have already talked about in private, but never in public, and that, for many years, I have considered very necessary to clarify, because many misinterpretations have arisen in other people about me.
1. I never speak in double senses, but always directly and trying to be very clear and with complete frankness. If I do not say something frankly and directly, I never include in what I say or communicate in any way a double sense. That is, if I do not say something frankly and directly, it is because I am silent or I am not trying to communicate in any way.
This is because I never think with double meanings, and another of my peculiarities is that I am very often very spontaneous, much more than the vast majority of people, when speaking or chatting through some means that I consider not very formal or that I consider friendly. Not so when, for example, at work, in writing in articles or letters (emails), or in audio recordings, where I tend to speak with less spontaneity and taking care to avoid possible interpretations of double meanings.
Actually, for me it is unpleasant to always have to be careful of such possibilities, especially with people I consider trustworthy in some way, or in informal cases with relative strangers.
And yet, of course, I consider this to be important, and I have even spoken about this problem, in private, with someone some time ago.
There are people who have said something to me with a double meaning, in an intentional way, that I have not understood or asked for clarification at that time, because I do not consider it very important, and that long time later, even decades, I have come to understand, after casually clarifying its semi-hidden meaning, which is usually immediately clear to the great majority of people when they see or hear it.
At the same time, another problem is that messages, written, spoken, in images or in audio, are often interpreted with double meanings, which for me do not have that meaning at all.
Although my direct messages can be very strong in many cases, I never do this with any double meaning. For me this is never an option, and I see that in this I am very different from the vast majority of people.
Curiously, my most developed form of reasoning, and the one to which I mainly owe my most outstanding scientific discoveries, is the analogical method, and for this reason one might think that I could often and skillfully use double meanings when communicating.
However, at the same time, one of the principles that determine my desire to know the truth of things, to investigate and to publish, is to do so directly. Deep down, I always consider double meaning to be an unnecessary, and less rapid, form of communication; somewhat deceitful or insufficiently honest. And I reject it at all costs, unconsciously, in the aforementioned cases of informality or closeness or trust.
I know very well that if I were to try to use double entendres I could do it much better than many people. In fact, I have written an English and Spanish dictionary of synonyms, much more complete than others.
However, when it comes to communication with someone you trust, I always want it to be in a completely unarmed manner, without distrust, or totally innocent if you want to consider it that way.
Please, in these cases always keep this in mind about me.
2. I am a terrible physiognomist! And this is something I have been wanting to clarify for many people, publicly, especially since I have been asking for and receiving donations in person.
I am really concerned about the fact that I know that even if someone has donated an abnormally significant amount to me, if I see them again the next day I probably won't recognize it as them.
I usually need to see a person at least three times to recognize them when I see them again, and if years go by without seeing them even in a photograph, it is very probable that I will not be able to recognize them.
This is because whenever I am talking to a person, I give much more importance to what they say and what they do than to their physical form, including how they dress or the car they go in. Because of this, I often notice that I remember these aspects, which I consider more important, about many people much more than the vast majority of other people.
I have clarified this many times, to many people, over the years. But it is always insufficient.
Please take into account that, despite this, I am infinitely grateful for your kind and valuable help, or your attention.
Note: The first of these two clarifications is mainly addressed to English-speaking people, who are currently the ones I interact with the most.
