We all communicate, but how often do we connect? Communication is more than speaking—it’s listening, empathizing, and responding effectively. Today, we’ll unlock essential skills to help you build stronger relationships, reduce conflict, and feel truly heard. 1. Empathy is the cornerstone of healthy communication. It has two sides: cognitive empathy—understanding someone’s perspective—and affective empathy—sharing their feelings. Cognitive empathy is a skill anyone can learn, even if it doesn’t come naturally. - Remember everyone has a subjective perspective. - Ask yourself: How would I feel in their shoes? - Avoid assuming—ask directly, ‘How are you feeling?’ - Assume good intentions: ‘What might have led them to act this way?’ Someone gets cut off in traffic and reacts angrily. Pause and show different interpretations: rushing to the hospital, late for work, distracted. 2. Active reflective listening means fully engaging with what the other person is saying—not just hearing but understanding. This involves: - Open attentive body language and natural mirroring. - Asking clarifying questions like, ‘What happened next?’ - Paraphrasing: ‘So you’re saying…?’ - Use same words: ‘That must have been so frustrating/shocking.’" - Don't interrupt, actual listening not just hearing. 3. Validation is about acknowledging someone’s feelings and perspective without necessarily agreeing. It says, ‘I see where you’re coming from.’ Invalidation, on the other hand, shuts people down and leads to long-term harm, even personality disorders like BPD. 4. Expressive skills Expressing yourself effectively requires: - Assertiveness: Balancing your needs with others’. - Use "Yes and" which connects rather than "Yes But" which divides. - Turning towards bids for connection, as John Gottman discovered in his research. Couples who do this regularly are 2.6 times more likely to stay together." physically turning and paying full attention to them, putting your phone down.

I just smashed this girl I’ve been talking over the phone with the first night we met. She said she went home and had anxiety because she thinks we’re moving too fast. She wants us to slow down on sex and kissing. I don’t know if I want to entertain this nonsense. She said she wants something romantic with me not just sex so what should I do sense I’m not just trying to be used and get no play?
