I'm quite incompetent when it comes to "getting" subtle tones of voice and subtle body language, often causing me to needlessly get angry at people because I misinterpret certain tones of voice as being condescending or belittling. Also, I often take certain comments literally if the tone is too subtle and it is not a common figure of speech.
Oh yes, I do that too and think that people are often out to get me.
