Surprise/Shock
Using words correctly shows emotions and deep feelings, but many people don't use the right words for the situation, causing misunderstandings. For example, a parent once called to share his daughter's success in the CA Inter exam, saying, "My daughter passed away in the CA Inter exam declared this morning." I was shocked at first but then realized he meant she had passed the exam and adjusted to his emotions.
Similarly, people often mix up the words "shocking" and "surprising," leading to confusion. A friend once knocked on my door while searching for a new place to live. She was happy to see me but expressed as shocked to find me living there. I was unsure if she meant she was surprised or actually shocked. Generally, "surprising" is for pleasant scenarios, and "shocking" is for unpleasant ones. Even now, I'm still confused about what she really meant!
