I can be a very good communicator in some situations, and abysmal in others. In my worklife, I am good at getting my point across. I'm good at having productive conversations with other people without getting irritated or them getting irritated at me. However, my private life seems to be a bit different.
We've been working a lot on "tone" this year, my SO and I. I find we're much more willing to listen to one another and have a good discussion together if we keep our tone in mind. Communication is something we always try to work on together. We're not the best communicators, but we're certainly willing to put in the work to improve. I think that makes a big difference.
I think self-reflection on one's communicative style is pretty key to understanding how to be a better communicator. Great thread, shesus, and thanks for giving us the opportunity to think about this.
