Compassionate and an honest communication is one thing we could all do a little better and it could resolve so many conflicts, doubts, thoughts and insecurities we have with people in our lives, running on our minds most of the time and then we tend to create an illusionist world in our cerebrum where we deliver such statements to balance the equation of our relation with those people we wish we could have delivered to them in real.
I have personally experienced these situations in my life where I get anxieties, feel numb and nervous too at times just because I feel helpless to communicate with people and sometimes my emotions control my mind and hold those words back which I would have spoken easily if my mind was calm during those times, I feel like I should listen to everyoneโs suggestions but end up getting stuck in between wondering NOW WHAT?? WHERE TO HEAD?? This makes me vulnerable to a great extent where my decision making ability also disappears just because I feel my actions should not hurt anyone.
I try to communicate with people in moderations where I can be both โ a good speaker and a listener as well, not too much communication nor too bit because through this way only a proper channel could be built and maintained without having to compromise YOUR SAY. It will surely make the bond both more flexible and strong too because through this you are not just putting YOUR SAY but also giving the other person a chance to spout off and put their worthy two cents.
The way you communicate with people decides whether it will work as a bridge between you two or a barrier because to make the other person understand your two cents, you need to think on practical grounds empathizing each other and if this part is absent, it would lead to misconceptions creating a barrier and would end up with the bridge being burnt leading to only ashes and a broken relation but that does not change my opinion on the saying โSTOP TEXTING PEOPLE FIRST AND YOU WILL SEE HOW MANY DEAD PLANTS YOU WERE WATERINGโ if it goes for long you know what it is.
So try to make your communication a compassionate one with honest words and thoughts by being polite, keeping in mind the empathy, finding a best way out to share your feelings or may be you can also try dropping emails or writing short letters in this era of WHATSAPP, SIGNAL, TELEGRAM and INSTAGRAM, it might work for you or might not, you can still give it a try if you feel you are not that good in expressing yourself verbally because I find these ideas of a great use when I am short of words and feel like stuck on what to say now. It might sound boring but it will surely refine your bonds and make the other person feel needed by you a bit more.
