#2 is basic practical conversation -- i.e. put your damn ego aside and actually interact with the person in front of you.
Granted this can become exhausting with people who socialize without any care for those around them; but this is basic soft skills 101 lesson... 3.
- MrJohz 2y agoOne great piece of advice that I heard is "it takes two to miscommunicate". Communication is fundamentally two-way, and if there is miscommunication happening, either you or the other person needs to figure out how to communicate better and close the gap. If they're not doing that, then you need to step up. Like you say, sometimes that can be exhausting if you're dealing with a particularly bad communicator. You don't want to be the one doing all the work, all the time. On the other hand, if communication needs to happen, then you need to figure out a way to get that communication to happen otherwise you're going to really struggle.
