The Must-Know Communication Life Hack That Will Elevate All Your Relationships
Don’t pretend to understand more than you actually understand.
Don’t be afraid to speak your mind.
And never hold back on feelings that you actually feel.
Most of us communicate for the sake of appearances and status, leaving behind what we truly wish to say.
We value the perception of others around us more than being honest with ourselves, which is what stops most of us in our ability to effectively communicate.
Because we do not learn to be honest, we do not learn to talk about the difficult things that would bring us actual practice.
Instead of being honest and upfront we hide behind fake words and surround ourselves with people that only know us for the fake niceties we speak.
But what do you think would happen if we were just honest? What do you think would happen if you did not try to hide yourself behind your words, appearances or status?
What if you just told the people you love that you love them? Would they not say it back?
What if you just told the attractive person in the elevator that you had no idea how to approach them? Would they not, at the very least, feel flattered?
