Misinterpreted, yes. What we consciously do or say is notalways what we are actually thinking. I guess we can overthink something to be what we want it to be when it isn't. So our decisions thereof are based on those misinterpretations or misinformation we feed ourselves.

It still becomes a choice, it's up to the individual to direct it the right way for them. You ignore it, flip it, do what u like with it. But doesn't change the actual occurances only the outcome.
