How well do you know their beliefs and values? Visitors or strangers in the office? If you would think twice about saying something in some situations, more than likely it’ll be perceived by someone as offensive.Your IP address has been temporarily blocked due to a large number of HTTP requests. Think about how we would like to be perceived and how we would like to perceive others. What I do believe is we can be more conscious of our perception. I believe we can not simply change who we are and change our list of personal filters simply for the sake of perception. Reality can be so complex that equally valid observations or thoughts from differing perspectives can appear to be contradictory. If you can say it to your wife or husband, surely you can say it to a work mate? But is it just swearing that offends? A discussion around planes may offend someone who has a fear of them or a chat about rocks may spark a bad memory of someone being hit with them as a child and therefore offend them also. We may personally think that swearing in a work place or swearing in general is not insulting. Most employee agreements have a clause around your behaviour at work and the examples used are always around objectionable or insulting behaviour or bad language. What stops someone stripping naked in the middle of the street or in the middle of your workplace? Is it because the majority perceive it as offensive? Therefore does our fear of offending stop us doing it?Ī common example in the workplace is swearing. So therefore, others would do the same for us. Our perception of others is dictated by what we believe to be true and important. This brings me into the workplace a hub of different mindsets, prejudices, agendas, needs, wants, fears, beliefs, experience and even self-images. You could also say this about your circle of friends, you would befriend someone based on similar likes, beliefs, experiences and therefore have similar perceptions. What you do, say and think in your own home is up to you and more than likely your household would have similar fears, values, mindsets etc which would make your households perceptions very similar. When we think about how we’re perceived, we need to think about what we do, what we say and what we think.
So with all this in mind when should we fear most? With these filters being so reactive and emotional, you could say, how we possibly perceive something one day, could be perceived differently another day. So filters are exactly what we have, we filter this information and then process this through our character, emotions, personal concerns and identity. It’s funny when someone says something we could possibly find offensive most would say “don’t you have a filter?” The information we receive or the reality and the world as it happens is filtered through our filters and senses sight, sound, touch, smell and taste. But is there a time and place to fear? Should we fear amongst family what we say and do? Friends? Work colleagues? Everything we do is scrutinised and we’re losing more and more in the fear of offending. Just like most, I have reservations that we’re slowly becoming too Politically Correct (PC).
Some would say “why fear what others perceive of us” but for me everyone needs a little fear, as the more fearless we’re becoming, the more we seem to offend others with no regard of their feelings. I have always been a big believer in the concept of perception.
