Difficult to get along

Good communication is vital for any relationship to get along. Some people just talk/speak without filtering, they speak out and hurt others without knowing ! And some people are just so sensitive over what they heard ! And all these created misunderstanding among each other. So sad :(

That's true. So, we should learn how to restrain our talk not to hurt others in the mean time we should also train our heart not to get easily hurt by others talk. Hm.. sounds like it is easier said than done...

Yeah, i think communication is the most important part in a relationship. Whether its marriage or others. I always try and make sure that i have a good communication with the others, but, communication issues still happen. I hate it when its happen.

I have a couple of friends who just say exactly what it on their mind all of the time, and don't seem to realise that sometimes what they say can actually be very hurtful indeed to the person they're saying it to. It's just cruel, and people should know what they can and can not say without offended other people. I think before I speak, but I don't think that this is an art perfected by everybody just yet. My Grandparents tend to offend because they say what's on their mind without thinking about how the other person will feel once they've made the comment.

We may find partners, friends and fellowmen introvert and extrovert. They may be talkative or withdrwn. Some may not know to talk at all without hurting. We cannot chage the persons mathematicxally. We need patience and do the necessary adjustments

It is worth taking a few seconds before you say something. Not all the time (sometimes people do need a wake up call) bit know who you are dealing with and use your best judgememt.

you really do sometimes have to filter what you say. I have some friends who just seem to blurt out whatever is on their minds and they don't realise that what they are saying has the potential to hurt people! I believe you should be honest with people and be honest about your feelings but you also have to learn to say things in a way that doesn't come across as rude or confrontational!

So, it's best to think twice or thrice before speaking out your mind, and in case you get some bad comments or remarks, it is best to keep an open mind and try to keep your composure as best possible. if words could kill, then i think there would be no more problem with population, lol!

When a person has no qualms or just talk without thinking , overdoes it, he/she will surely hurt people. And when people get hurts because of what you said, you will surely be avoided. You will lose friends. So, it will be better if we try to think first , when we are about to share a story. Try to assess your audience. Do they share the same opinion as you , are they conservative etc. When you do this, you avoid saying words that can hurt people. Thus, you can gain friends,
