Recently I’ve had the change to talk with an agent about buying a house.
We exchanged lots of emails and also met each other to discuss the conditions and the prices.
Everything was fin until he asked me for a specific paper that attested something regarding the money.
I didn’t have that info and needed to find it.
I told him I’d contact him back once I found it.
Later on, he wrote me asking me for updates, I replied I didn’t have them and waited.
After that he wrote me another email, asking for the same info, which I didn’t reply to.
Weeks passed and he wrote me again, raging, because I didn’t seem like a reliable person, and he told me he would leave the work (not because of me obviously).
This led me to think about the 2 sides of each story. He probably lived the whole story differently and he surely felt betrayed, although the reason behind me waiting to reply to him was, in fact, that I didn’t have any news or update.
Each story has multiple version of it. Both of them true.
Should you choose one over the other, remember that they can differ, but both tell the same story, the same truth.
