You have your guard up and it sounds like you take things personally. Maybe you could pause yourself and think about how you are perceiving things before you talk. Just a suggestion but try keeping a journal that you write in everyday. You can write everything thats going on or has happened and then when you are done you can read what you wrote. Over some time you will be able to look at what you have written and see where your sensitive and maybe how you rush to judge in certain situations. Journaling is very therapeutic and it is a great way to process feelings and emotions. I started doing it when I was in college and I still do it now.How do i get out of the habit of twisting words around i dont mean to its just how i interpret things?
Try no therapy or psychiatry straight away. Cool down at first: Twisting words is a completely normal thing many people do. Think of what foreigners do.



Open air, exercises, dinamic movement, and a brutal effort to find happiness around you, whichever be the situation you feel you may be about to face. Read this, it may be inspiring:



Please do not stop taking any medication that you've been taking.:

Read the pages of the site quoted below and feel free to write an e-mail and get in touch with people there, at Metzelf. In your country, (USA) you'd have a great source of mental health information on Dr Szasz blog and it is a wonderful source of care and you may find people for you to speak with and inform yourself about your feelings and your condition, talking to inteligent people. Try Google search after cooling down. But why not start by Mira de Vries' website (Metzelt in English) from Amsterdam? It's a nice spot to find information, read the articles carefully, use your head to decide what is good, and give it a time to allow what is writen there to fit in, when you start forming your own opinions. Take care and keep cool. The website is surprising and you may understand that there is nothing really wrong with you, perhaps you are simply gifted: (I am something like an elephant man of the mind) Bye.

the philospher Wittgenstein pointed out that what someone means to say is never the same as what other people think they hear. It's a limitation of language, it can't communicate exact meaning. This is normal.

Another thing that does this to me sometimes is a paranoid element of the mind, acting on the imagination. It warps and changes words and phrases so that they become threatening. This can be helped by meditation, which calms the mind.
If you find it bothersome, I suppose you could go see a speech therapist (I'm not an expert on this). I have the same problem sometimes but I find that if you focus on how you pronounce the words slowly, that helps a bit.
