Thank you dear Abi for another wonderful article of yours!

Unfortunately, my view of the world regarding this matter can be described with the following quote:

Most people do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to reply.

Stephen R. Covey

I think is what we have today is too much talking, but almost no or not enough communication. Many people aren't even aware of the difference between the two.

Of course, I can say that during my life I've met very few individuals with whom I managed to establish communication, but in general it is extremely rare.

Although I have absolutely zero knowledge in psychology, I can assume the reason for that are our own insecurities and deceptions we prefer living in, afraid that any solid argument about some matter, or different opinon on something will make our safe bubble burst and we'll remain exposed to something unknown, which we'll have to deal with. And that's just so damn hard for most of the people.

I would of course like very much to hear your opinion about this, as someone who knows much more psychology than I do :)

Lots of love to you! ❤ ❤ ❤
