Miscommunication: I told you the appointment was at 7, and you thought I meant 7am when I actually meant pm.
Misunderstanding: I said the appointment was at 7 and check-in is half an hour early, meaning I had to be there at 6:30, but you thought I meant that the appointment was at 7:30 and I had to be there at 7.
Obfuscation: I said that I have appointments at 4, 7 and 9 today and then a handful more tomorrow, nothing is too important, no worries.
Lack of Communication: I won't tell you when the appointment is, if I've even told you there's an appointment at all.
Lie: I said that the appointment was at 5.
Gaslighting: What do you mean I told you the appointment was at 5? it was always at 7. I definitely never told you 5. You've been getting confused about a lot of things like this lately, are you sure you're okay? Maybe you need more sleep, or you should consider seeing a doctor. I'm worried about you.
The number of people reblogging this post thinking its main purpose is to explain gaslighting is in retrospect entirely logical, but it was actually about what does and doesn't count as "miscommunication"
