Take Your Time
I think that before I get into my point here, I would like to point out a small disclaimer- When I say tell your partner about yourself, if they are a prospective partner, rather ensure that you do not get too deep too soon. This can be overwhelming and frighten your potential partner away. Just relax and be yourself.
A classic example to explain this is as follows:- You meet a prospective partner, and go on a date. Instead of just chatting, and listening to each other, the one person says they want five kids, and to live in a particular suburb, with a certain career level and so on.
If you were the other person, would you be feeling comfortable at this stage?
What about a coffee, and enjoying each other’s company. You do not need to set up a total lifetime in one date. It’s better to let things develop naturally and take their course.
Am I saying you never communicate your desires? Of course not. However, you do need to ensure that you are also making the progress in a non threatening way. This is my point. Take your time.
Relationship Self Help – Avoiding Bad Relationships With Communication
By Don W Bernard
Far and away, the thing people complain about most in their relationship is “lack of communication.” What they are really saying is that they don’t feel truly known in ways that make them feel close, loved, christened. This is because most people don’t believe they can be known. In our secret heart of hearts we all fear that we are alone in the universe and that no one will really understand us. While of course it is true that no one can ever know us exactly, down to the marrow of our bones, we can be known to a surprisingly degree if we are willing to take the risk of revealing who we are.
Contrary to our myths and expectations, communication isn’t just talking, getting your own point across or being sure you’ve been heard. Far more than we might imagine, communication is also receptive. It is listening, taking in, absorbing, and allowing yourself to be changed by what has been said to you. Without listening, talking can be a one-sided enterprise, leaving the arch of communication incomplete. But when talking and listening occur, a conversation gains antiphony and both partners have the sense that they know occupy a common ground.
True communication, the kind we are all seeking, is a bonding of spirits. Through what we tell one another, we come to know how the person we love thinks, feels, and is likely to behave in any given circumstance. True communication is connecting at the level where the solitariness of individual boundaries is blurred and we know from the inside that we are in touch with the essence of the other.
This place of deep connection and interpersonal fulfillment doesn’t just happen. It is arrived at through the steady practice of the art of communication on the intellectual, sexual and emotional planes.
True communication takes courage. It requires a reaching beyond the trivial for the deeper truth of who you are and what you feel, and the willingness to take the risk of showing yourself to the other person. True communication is also receptive. It indicates that you love enough to be affected-moved, changed, enlarged, and transformed-by what you have heard.
Because in its quintessence communication has the capacity to bond us at the deepest, most unspoken levels, true communication is an interpersonal miracle. It allows us to get inside one another’s skins, and to know and be known truly by another human being. It is the means by which we throw open the windows of our souls to let the light of another soul shine in.
