Although the title can be a bit misleading, this is exactly how I feel about the communication model. For some reason when it comes down to effective communication, the ears, eyes, and mouth determine one's success. I don't know what it is, but it's amazing how we as people (especially men and women), do not see, hear, or say what's easily interpreted by the other gender. We think we're clear and very concise when we communicate and discover that we're way off base lol. Hey, shit happens!If I could offer my professional opinion regarding this topic (yeah right), I would say chill out. The best thing to do is to assess situations from an analytical standpoint. Try not to take things personally and if you can, remove yourself from the situation. We know that more often than not, people try to say things that they feel but oftenly have a hard time conveying it to other parties. I'm not sure of how things work exactly, but I do know that communication is vital for every business, friendship, relationship, and association.
In all seriousness, at some point, you will play the roles of sender and receiver. It's great to want to get your point across but you have to be able to allow others the same freedom. Perhaps communication should be governed from an equal perspective versus a double standard. The benefit of doubt should be extended to everyone because chances are, you will want that same consideration. Until someone develops a set of rules that allow the world to be able to communicate without interpretations and feelings being involved, I'm sure that conflict will always lurk in the shadows.
Anyway, I'm off my soap box for today....
I'm Out...
