literal claustrophobic minded

I have problem with problems....

Say you have a problem, you investigate that problem for a solution, that solution involves you with another person in the equation, you approach that person and are fobbed off by there answer or redirected. This is were the problem becomes a new problem, I take what the person says literally and get stuck for the original solution and it stresses me out. It is like DO NOT PASS GO OR COLLECT £200 pounds (monopoly). I spend my time trying to work through the new problem the person has given me instead of relooking at the original problem or challenging what the second party said.

So instead of rejecting the second parties view outright by seeking clarification, I find my self stuck that what they say is totally correct by a literal thinking it must be. I forget the Nts can give false information, lie and block by words to save themselve work or hassle. I end up going round in a loop pressing the new buttons they have given me to work out. eg, you have speak to X or that is not this department, or sorry it is not our problem. etc etc. I suppose a bit like going to a garage and being told half your car needs replacing when you just went into get one tyre.

or in our case when a person goes to the doctor about Autism. Just because the GP can not be arsed, you take this words as literal(you don't have autism) and you go home and suffer.

I think the solution to this literal barriers, is first check with another third party, is the information you have been given correct before you action the second parties comment as literal.

So regardless what you are told, check it out that it is correct information. Literally check yourself or you may find yourself become literal minded claustrophobic(shut in a mental place).
