Greetings, Steemians!
The need for honesty and communication has never been bigger than now. A stable and profound relationship is one built on trust and honesty.
It doesn’t matter whether it is a casual acquaintance, a friendship that has lasted for many years, or a romantic courtship, because at the end of the day, one glue holds them all together and that glue is communication; the honest and vulnerable interaction of the two people involved.
Unfortunately, relationships are prone to a dangerous poison called sulking.
When we begin a relationship with other people, we make an innocent mistake. The mistake that we may have found a person who can finally understand us.
Someone who can know us better than we know ourselves, and someone who will take every hint and relieve us from having to explain ourselves over and over to people because they couldn’t quite touch the idea that we wanted to express.
This is a dangerous tendency and an innocent mistake, as we said. Because however close you feel with the other person in a relationship, you must understand that they cannot ever fully understand you.
When you accept this, you will not only prevent an eventual disappointment, you will also learn that sulking will not help you in the matter.
People tend to sulk when there is something wrong, but they don’t want to say it out loud. So, they sulk and make faces, staying quiet and irritating the other person, while building up anger because they expect that other person to realize what it is that they are sulking about.
They do not want to tell you what is bothering them, because they expect you to understand it on your own, because deep in their mind, they feel like that you may be the only person that can understand them.
While that is a romantic idea, it is dangerous and can lead to folly.
Because you cannot expect any single person to fully understand you.
No one is in that position. One could even argue that you cannot sometimes understand your own emotions and feelings, so how can we expect other people to understand us better than we understand ourselves?
In that situation, sulking and holding back emotions when the wise path would be to express them with open honesty, can only lead to irritation and devastation on both sides.
When something is bothering you, make a note to yourself and just say it to the other person. Only with honesty can you build a relationship on respect, trust, and true understanding.
If you really feel like someone should understand you and they are not, why do you have to turn it into such a big deal when you could simply tell them everything? As hard as it can be to hear the truth, your expectations are often ill-founded and illogical.
The next time something is bothering you, try to just say it with absolute honesty and you will not live to regret it!
A BIG HUG!
