I struggled a lot in middle/high school with this. Reading for example, I would get asked “Why does this character wear all black?” and I’d say it’s because he likes the color black. Well no, the answer is because he is depressed. Where the hell does the book say that??? I’m supposed to “Infer” it.

I don’t take implications or hints well at all, if someone isn’t 100% straightforward with me I either need clarification, or my brain comes up with it’s own conclusions. I can’t really handle the dodgy “maybe” answer to questions or “we’ll see”. I always need a “yes” or a “no”. Otherwise I get annoyed.

Sidenote: This is probably why I struggle with mysteries and such. If it’s not obvious and explicit, I just don’t get it.

I did a bible study once, boy did that confuse the hell out of me. So many ways to “interpret” something, none of them I understood. The book didn’t say it so how did you come up with it?
