Misunderstanding leads to bad consequences

Why do we assume that misunderstandings lead to bad consequences? Is this a fair assumption? That's where I would like to start. The first thought that crossed my mind is the differing expectations between two main characters regarding what each person expects or desires from their relationship. What I find more interesting, however, is when a person misunderstands themselves. For example, I used to think I wanted more time to relax and do whatever I pleased, but I've gradually come to realize that I actually desire a more structured life and some guidance. Would this be considered a misunderstanding, by the way?
