open to interpretation

its so interesting how people assume. i was speaking to someone the other day and i told them i was cooking for shabbos. they later asked me who i was having over for shabbos lunch. this really floored me because this person was assuming that the only reason someone single could be cooking for shabbos would be because they were having guests. quite an assumption. this assumption of course would never even be in my radar. the the person who asked this question was male. this of explains alot. he would never cook for shabbos unless he was having guests and assumed everyone is like this. it is never appropriate to assume.
the worst however is when people assume and dont tell you what their assumption is so you cant set them straight. this happens all of the time. the worst is when someone assumes something, doesnt tell you their assumption and then is mad at you for something you never did in the first place. this is why its best to confront someone in a non-accusatory fashion and try to access the situation before making false assumptions and accusations.
