miscommunication.
when i sat and thought about it yesterday,
many of my failed relationships ended due to miscommunication.
i have met some idiots who had to go because they weren’t good for me.
like,
my sister for instance.
i have tried to communicate with her many times about our issues.
after the 10th issue with her doing the same shit,
i realized there is no fixing our relationship so i had to peace out.
How many of our family members or close friends have we stopped speaking to because something happened and no one decided to talk?
we lie and create excuses to justify not speaking to them.
the truth is it could have been resolved if both parties had a conversation.
so you know i had my psychotic meltdown the other day?
i haven’t been speaking to my family for the last 2 months and…
I ended up speaking to them the other day and realized our pause was due to miscommunication,
mostly on my part.
i can be honest about that.
i was under tremendous stress and asked for help.
it started thinking one thing because of the vagueness of the situation.
i assumed my sister was involved because of the trauma i hold from her.
My sister was nowhere in the situation.
It was similar to past situations but it had nothing to do with her.
in fact,
they don’t really speak to her like that.
i thought to myself after we got off the phone…
What if we never had this conversation?
hmm.
venus in retrograde said that people from my past were coming back.
i bet it’s gonna be people i’ve had miscommunications with.
unlike the others who double and triple down,
i’m always down to have a conversation even if i was wrong.
What strategies and actionable steps do you suggest one take to actually “bury” the behavior or character trait of miscommunication so that it won’t dismantle valuable relationships with such little time left here on earth?
Wow. Cancerians are amazingly long-suffering. We usually do those permanent drops when we do excise people from our circle.
However, we are magnanimous and open hearted and do permit the occasional exception.
Silence is golden. Cherish it. Something is ALWAYS in retrograde. Fuck that cosmic shit and live your life. Finally, there a lot of good meds out there. Find one that works and take it as prescribed. You’ll be alright,
Well said Jim. And remember that life is too short to not be willing to be the bigger person, as long as you meet ppl where they are, and recognize that that’s what’s happening. I feel like COVID pushed a lot of ppl into this ‘cut them off’ space, when a lot of times, it really is just about knowing who is for what. Everyone in our lives isn’t for everything.
