How to not make false statements
I just had a question here.
So it's probably going to happen once where other players tell you that you made false accusations or interpretations.
Whenever someone says you did such something false, what's the best way to explain you saw it different?
Or maybe better: How can you verbalize your thoughts without sounding too accusing or exaggerating?
This is a problem that I often run into... help me become a better playerhi- Espeonage

Just roll with it and stand by what you said and explain your reasons for interpretation. Don't be afraid to ask what their perception of an event/statement comes from. By asking them why they view someone as X, you're throwing the ball back in their court and allowing a diversity of viewpoints to flow into the discussion.- Psyche

yes, self reflection will improve read accuracy, but this you can do postgame at your own pace
building self-confidence and maintaining a sharp instinct is equally if not more important. This process is more gradual. Being constantly worried that your interpretations might not fall in line with what the majority thinks hinders this process to a great extent.
there is no universal method by which words are interpreted, in a game of deception. So the best way to assert that your interpretation might be different is to simply state that it is an interpretation.- kuribo

Kuribo's read is foolproof: one night he was high on NyQuil, and he's ancestors reveiled Aureal's alignment to him. - Dessew- Ectomancer

It isn't your job to explain it. It is their job to explain why their statement is valid. Don't let the next part of the conversation be about anything other than the fact that they just called you a straight up liar without any backing of it whatsoever.In post 0, Harambey180 wrote:I just had a question here.

This is a problem that I often run into... help me become a better playerI have a degree in bullshit. I have patents on entire lines of bullshit. So don't sit here and feed me a line of bullshit and think that I'm not going to recognize it as one.
