Chit Chat...
"Most conversations are simply monologues delivered in the presence of a witness."
~Margaret Millar
Effective communication is an art. It is one that should be taught in every grade. Any and every relationship you ever enter into will rely on the effectiveness of each person's communication skills. The best communication tip we can come across is to just do it. Silent treatments and games are for children. Get off the power trip. Say what you need to say and then actively listen. Take each and every conversation seriously. Give it your full attention. You deserve that and so does whomever you are communicating with. Keep your conversations honest and simple, and communication will be very easy. It is when you play games and lie that you really have to work to communicate with someone. Why put yourself though all that. Think of the release of just saying "hey, I don't like it when you do that" or "you really hurt my feelings," instead of keeping it locked up inside, having it happen repetitively, and resenting someone for something they don't even know bothers you. Not only are you disrespecting yourself with that selfish behavior, you are making choices that affect other people's behavior and that is not fair. People are not mind readers. Keep it simple. Keep it honest. Open your mouth and then open your ears.
