Two people talking, right? Two people sharing a conversation? Being honest about how you feel; and mindful of the person you are telli... Yes,yes,yes,yes. Strictly speaking it is all only effective with the acceptance of the ground rules for what actual communication looks like. That is the dialogue. The elements of 2 people in a conversation. The following was news to me at 21 years of age:
One person begins to talk. The other STOPS and listens to the one talking until they have stopped. Then the person that had been talking STOPS and waits. The one whom had been listening considers what was said, and after clarify( if necessary) what the other has said by asking them in the form of repeating what they said, they now speak. Then they STOP and wait, while the other person considers what they said and responds.
Some might think this humorous, I don't know. I thought it was kinda neet when I first saw that. I had never really considered there was a sort of edicate to talking.
I challenge one to conform to it. By my becoming conscious of this info; I found myself learning something I hadn't been seeing that I did a lot of. That is that most of the time when you were talking I wasn't really listening. I could hardly wait til you shut up so I could talk most of the time. MEN especially are quilty of this. Women's number one complaint, " He doesn't listen".]]> http://spiritandword.org/forum/relationships-26/what-is-communication/ Fri, 11 Nov 2011 01:22:44 +0000 Henry Robert Kimball http://spiritandword.org/forum/general-2/rules/
