MODERATORS
How it is stated is best.
If you ask what other people think of you, well now you are right back to what you guess other people think of you. Which may be more projecting your own thoughts than them.
Unless testing for paranoia, you need to keep it concrete as you can.
The being too literal is so severe that others will absolutely tell you. Your internal thought process recognizing both the intended figurative meaning whole also considering the literal is fine.
Maybe it should be more about falling to recognize figurative communication rather than ability to consider the literal meaning of communication.
