PART B_2

“Truth” is possibly the greatest barrier to good communication. When in an argument, you have this powerful conviction that you are correct and do not try to see the other person’s point of view: instead, you are forcing him or her to agree with you. The more you try to persuade people to agree with you, the more they become argumentative. They believe that you are not listening to their viewpoints, so they argue longer to get you to listen. In the end, both parties end up upset and frustrated.

You may be completely unaware that you are doing this. A woman’s husband once said, “Sarah, you always do exactly what you want without considering my needs.” Sarah denied and explained that she had to prioritize her studies to prepare for big exams. Sarah may think she is being honest and reasonable, but she made the mistake of arguing that she is correct and her husband is wrong by denying his statement. She was not trying to understand his point of view and focused only on her needs. This was what exactly her husband was complaining about.
