How come we can't all just get along? Is it really a chore to let someone know how you really feel? We were all born with the same features including a mouth. We all know how to talk and express our opinions. We can get mad and shout very easily but sometimes don't like to hear it come back to us. These are all forms of expressions. How come it is much easier sometimes to bottle it all up and don't say anything so we don't "hurt" the other person?
I think communication is the main key in any relationship. Whether it is a working relationship or a friendship or a love triangle, we need to express what we really want to say. How would anyone know what we really feel unless we just say it? No one is a mind reader. How can someone "change" if you don't tell them what’s wrong? Some people like to say it's none of their business or I don't want to hurt their feelings.
We have all heard the expression "Love hurts". It does hurt sometimes but really listening to what the other person says and letting them speak is so vitally important. You have to hear them in order to communicate. No one likes to hear the other person talk so much. That is what communication is all about. Don't just fly off the handle. You have to really think about what you are saying. Put yourself in the others person's shoes as you talk to them. How would you like to hear the words you are saying to the other person? Be honest! I mean brutally honest with someone. Of course put it in a nice way.
Put it in the nicest way you can but be honest. If you screwed up or did something wrong, let the other person know. Do you think things just go away by not saying anything? Deep down inside if something bothers you and you really want to say something, then you probably should. This "bother" is for a reason. If we really think we should do something then you know darn well we should. Communication and honesty is the key in any relationship. So many people could communicate but not being totally honest. You need both! Do what is right! You know what is wrong and what is right. Make the right choice! Have a talk with that significant other or co-worker and let them know how you feel. Now it is out in the open so that you can come to some kind of ground. Some kind of agreement! Keeping it inside definitely won't help you. Be honest with yourself and you will be honest with others! Give it a try and watch your relationship improve. Honestly!!!!
