Miscommunication - Root Cause of Problems?
by: Zaak OConan
People of two opposing ideas can stir up arguments and fights. It's that situation when one thinks he has the right concept while the other one also believes he has the proper notion. Both of them would try to outsmart each other until one claims victory.
Here's an actual example.
My spouse would sometimes buy me signature clothing. When my Mom founds out how much it costs, she would advise us to budget our money and just buy the affordable ones.
A problem occurs when my spouse thinks that her effort to give me the best was unappreciated. Mom, on the other hand, would think that my spouse is such a spender.
There's a conflict with their beliefs. No two people are exactly alike. We are totally unique; not only physically, but mentally and emotionally as well.
There will be many times when your opinion will not correspond with that of another. So how can people prevent this kind of conflict from occurring?
Communication is the key to overcome doubts and misunderstandings.
You should let other people know what's in your mind. Don't keep them guessing.
There was a story about two couples who were filing a divorce. After the lawyer have spoken to them both, he found out that the root cause of all their problems was due to miscommunication.
Here's one of the couple's problems.
The man filing the divorce said that he just hated the breakfast meal that his wife often prepared for him. On the other hand, the wife said that she's only preparing the meal because she thought it was her husband's favorite. But she never liked cooking it because it's very difficult to prepare.
See? If only one of them took the initiative to speak out what's in his or her mind, then that particular dilemma would be over.
Now why would people prefer to keep their complaints and criticisms to themselves? What's holding them back?
