Misunderstanding sucks!

Coin has two sides likewise things has different consequences. Just like Heads and Tails, a relation also contains good and bad times and both are unavoidable. If you are grateful for the happy times, you should be thankful for bad times as they are the best teachers. Everyone among us must have been misunderstood or you might have misunderstood some. Different people, their way of thinking different, actions to take are different and when can anyone misunderstood you is also unpredictable. Now there are so many ways where misunderstanding can happen and there are so many scenarios. Misunderstanding cannot just happen between a couple it can happen between a parents and their wards, teacher and student, boss and employee, friend to friend and it is also reason for breakups, having trust issues and lot more things can happen."Communication is the key to healthy relationship”.



Root cause of misunderstanding is doubting each other. When you can’t trust each other how can you even imagine to have a healthy relationship. End the doubts by communicating with each other. Whether it be fights or doubts about each other everything can be solves when you talk with other and try to figure out things. In most cases when arguments or fights take place people stop talking with each other and stay quiet even if they are dying to talk with other. Learn to face your problems and solve them and in this situation communication is the only solution. To avoid fights and misunderstandings me and my friend has decided to speak up whatever is there in each other’s mind and I think this is a good decision. Rather than suffering alone and at times you don’t even know what other person is going through, you start making up things in your mind and you end up hurting yourself and the other person. An alternative to this situation is communication which will help you destroy your sufferings. Another thing to keep in mind is do not let the community know about your fights or arguments as it is just a topic of gossiping for them. Do not let third person come in between your fights until you are totally capable of solving your fights. Try to remember the things that cause fights and try not to repeat it again. Take accountability for your behavior and mistakes.



Do not discuss important topic over text or chat. This is another reason for misunderstanding as you try to something and the receiver takes it differently. You can speak over call or best way is communicating face to face. While texting you don’t know other person’s mood or how he/she reacts to things whereas you understand through expressions what is going in that person’s head. Another thing to keep in mind is that listen to what a person says no matter what is the medium of communication. Sometimes you worsen up the things by not listening properly, putting your own assumptions and then thinking in that way. Don’t over think and make the problem big which is small in reality. You have so many medium for communication so stop thinking and communicate.

So many times we see things and accept it as reality but you don’t know the other side. Suppose you visit a place and see your friend with a glass of drink in his/her hand and you assume that person drinks but you didn’t knew that person is holding his/her friends glass. So at such situation you should communicate with your friend and trust them. You only know story of your side and you start judging or doubting another person instead of that hear what the person wants to speak. Sometimes a friend of yours will come and tell that I saw your girl talking with other boy or vice versa so at such times instead of doubting your partner and believing that person who told you this talk with your partner. Don’t complicate things when you can live happily by communicating. Communication is the answer to all misunderstandings and problems so communicate as much as you can.
