"MISUNDERSTANDINGS! Well we've all been there. We've struggled with explaining something in words that is more felt or abstract. We've all thought we heard someone say something that they did not, and we've all fallen victim to someone else's twisted interpretation of what we've said or what we did. It is so easy to fall into a misunderstanding. In fact, there will undoubtedly be folk who misunderstand portions of this article. There are many reasons for that, but they can all lead to communication problems. Also, reading body language is seldom accurate and usually leads to misunderstandings. You aren't a mind reader. You have no idea what is going on in someone's mind. Don't assume you know what a person is thinking just because of his body language. These kinds of misunderstandings lead to conflict and resentment not just at work, but at home too. How many fights between couples have started with one person misinterpreting what another says and does? He stares at his plate at dinner while she’s telling a story and she assumes he doesn’t care about what she’s saying, when really he is admiring the delicious meal she made. She goes to bed early rather than watching their favorite television show together like they usually do, and he assumes that she’s not interested in spending time with him, when really she’s just exhausted. The only suggestion I can give in a situation like this is to be understanding. Allow for this kind of error. Don't make this into an argument, a fight, or harbor bitterness. Just let it go. Don't try to prove your case, don't accuse each other, and don't make it into something bigger than it is. Because such actions of yours may result into the loss of your partner, friend or any of your loved ones. Just let it go! ©red_rose431"
