    Yes, yes, a million times yes! Or worse, when you don't understand something because you weren't listening due to, oh, that strange bird flying around just then, or remembering that you have an awesome game at home waiting for you, and the second time it is explained to you (after you ask for it no less), you don't listen then either!

    "I'll call you!"
    What I really mean: "I'll send you a text or an e-mail, I hope by now you know that I avoid phones like the devil!"

    (when eating something made for you that doesn't taste all that good): "It's not bad; it would be better with a little bit of (insert ingredient)"
    What I really mean: "No amount of secret ingredients will save this one, but I would eat anything you cooked for me yourself! "

    "I'm fine" can mean one of two things. It either means "I'm barely holding it together and I could snap at any moment" or "I don't want to tell you how I actually feel and if you keep asking then I will snap". Basically: fine=snap.

    I say: ... ... ... [nothing] ... ... [and look away]

    I mean: I really really REALLY do not wish to talk right now about anything at all, just let me enjoy =D or hate >=( my surroundings right now. I'll be back for whatever you need in 30 minutes. I need to assess my feelings and emotions right now.

    Me: "nah not much, this and that :), you?"

    Someone: "Well everyone is right to their own political beliefs right?"

    Me: "Yeah ofcourse"

    What I really mean: "Yeah everyone is right to their belief, but everyone is also right to fucking equal rights and freedom without prejeduice you racist piece of shit!"

    edit: Had to put in something personal to ventilate, sorry about that..

    What I say: Don't apologize, that's only my fault. I'm so sorry. You're right about everything and I am totally wrong, please forgive my stubborness and my inability to see your point of view. Let's forget everything, okay?
    What I mean: That's all your fault. You've hurt me like hell, broken my values, disrespected me as a person and ignored my needs and my feelings, and now you're acting as a victim and the only reason you're apologizing is that you're trying to make me feel guilty, because you think I've hurt you more than you hurt me, but the truth is that you're just offended and you don't realize how much pain you've caused to me. I know what you mean, what you want and what you think about me, so stop trying to convince me that you're right and pretending you give a damn about what I say. I've tried to understand your point of view and I've listened to your words before judging, and you're not willing to do an effort to do the same. F*ck you, idiot.
    Well, only in specific situations, of course xD

    Someone: Hey, shall we go to the pub? Are you free this evening?
    What I say: I don't know.
    What I mean: Oh please no don't make me do this I don't want to go out I have a lot of things to do and I also feel a bit sick and I don't want to go out and oh please don't make me do this!
    Someone: Okay, I'll send you a message later. Make me know, ok?
    What I say: Sure.
    What I mean: Please, forget it, don't send me anything! Forget it. Forget it. Forget it. Forget it! ;____;

    Someone: Hey, are you ok?
    What I say: Yeah, I'm fine, and you?
    What I mean: Something serious happened. I want to cry and kick things and rip pillows but I can't. I don't need to talk it, I just need to shout, but I know you have other problems I don't want to make things worse for you. I don't want you to be worried for me or feel responsible, and it doesn't matter if you are. I know that you'll be happier if you think that I am okay, but at the sime time I'm a bit angry with you because I'm unvoluntarily sending you hidden messages and I don't get how you can't see that no, I am not okay, and now I feel very stupid because after all I'm choosing to hide my feelings and I shouldn't expect you to understand everything if I don't talk about it with you. I always know when you're sad and I always know which the problem is even when you lie as I do, but it doesn't mean that you're able to read me that well, right? God, my head hurts.

    Another one I remembered!

    Me: Really? How interesting! *after hearing someone tell me something I know but pretend I don't*
    What I really mean: I know all about this, I could talk to you for hours about it, but I either:

    1. Can't bother because you're not interesting enough for me to want to impress you.
    2. Am pretending to be dumb in order to see your true colours and/or if you're trying to impress me.
    3. Am holding myself back for If I start talking to you about that we'll end up fighting; you just said something that has crossed yourself off the list of people I might ever hold any respect for.
    4. Don't want to spoil your joy for thinking you're telling me something I don't know; how much harm can a little white lie do?
