Have you ever been asked:�‘What would you do,
if your guy brings you to a Mamak
on your first romantic date?’ ♥
During yesterday’s IG live session, 🗣
we chanced upon this discussion
and it went on for quite a while.
Is it a RIGHT to do so?�or is it WRONG?
Well, I think…
its not about the blame game.�But all about conflicting perceptions, interpretations and values.
The gist of it is not the location
of the dinner date,
but whether it was communicated to you in the first place.
Often, we go through an entire conversation,
or even an entire relationship
without ever realising that each of us
is paying attention to different things
- That our views are based on different information.
That is when you feel misunderstood,
and conflict happens,
because what matters to you,
may not be what mattered to the other person.
So, have that difficult conversation,
and make less assumptions about their intentions.
Before defending yourself,
or trying to right a wrong,
Try to hear them out.
Before saying ‘I UNDERSTAND’
Try saying ‘HELP ME UNDERSTAND’
Remember,
It is never wrong to LISTEN first.
