maybe try to have a little more patience with other people; they may not find it as easy to understand you as you think it is, and it doesn't always mean they aren't trying. sometimes they're just dumb, sometimes what you wrote is actually pretty unclear (even though it's perfectly clear to you because you already know what you were trying to express), and sometimes they're actually aware of things you're not which introduce hidden contradictions into your narrative

the worst case, from my point of view, is when they're actually just dumb and you yell at them for their intellectual limitations. that's sad
