Most interpersonal conflict comes down to unmet expectations, and unmet expectations often originate from miscommunication and lack of clarity
Have you ever felt misunderstood or found yourself in a conflict due to miscommunication? In this episode of the Relational Recovery podcast, hosts Wes Thompson and Austin Hill dive into the concept of clarity and its crucial role in our relationships. They chat about the importance of clear communication and how it can prevent unnecessary conflicts and hurt feelings. Wes shares his experiences of assumptions leading to misunderstandings and the cascading negative effects that follow.
Austin agrees, noting that most interpersonal conflicts stem from unmet expectations, often due to a lack of clarity. The hosts also discuss practical ways to identify when something isn't clear in a conversation and how to ensure that your message is understood. They emphasise the need for intentionality in communication, rather than just hoping the other person will understand what you're hinting at.
Wes and Austin highlight the frustration that arises when people don't say what they mean, leading to a lack of confidence in the relationship. Moreover, they touch on the role of fear in communication. Fear of rejection or hurting someone's feelings can lead people to beat around the bush, which only complicates matters further. Wes and Austin stress that good relationships require open and honest communication, without which relational health is impossible.
If you're looking to improve your relationships by enhancing your communication skills, this episode is a must-listen. It offers valuable insights into why clarity is essential and provides practical advice on how to achieve it in your interactions. So, why not give it a listen and see how it can help you foster healthier relationships?
