Self Help tips to Fix these Habits that Destroy Relationships

Do you get into some petty spats with a friend? These may be due to subtle yet bad communication habits. Learn to break them as soon as you can. Don’t always blame others on the downfall of your relationship because the fault may be yours. But whether you are wrong or not, you also need to look at the way you communicate.

You and your friend, colleague, or special someone may think you know each other inside and out. But even the most in-tune partnerships can slip up every so often.

Many people unknowingly have bad communication habits and these may be so subtle that they don’t often create conflict in the moment, but when they happen consistently, they can make the two feel less connected.

Learn to swallow your pride and say sorry when needed. Even an overdue apology will still help repair any damage that’s been done. And to avoid these pitfalls, you have to first recognize them.

Here’s a prime example of a lapse in conversation: you forget to mention the smaller details of the big picture. This may be unintentional, and just because you think you are so in tune with each other, you tend to talk in a sort of shorthand.

Essentially, you paint the broader strokes of the picture and just assume that the other will be able to fill the gaps in between. You may leave the key information because you’re so used to each other. People don’t immediately get what’s unspoken.

In the end, one feels bruised and all sorts of problems arise. This is for sure a setback but once you are made aware of it, it is something you can easily fix. First, deliberate on when you’re relaying some form of important information.

This can be applied to anyone you speak to, even the ones you aren’t so close to. When it’s their turn to tell you something, don’t hesitate to ask instead of simply accepting the gloss-over.

Something you also ought to know is that it is nearly impossible to have a conversation with someone else when they’re immersed in something. You think that just because your friend is right in front of you, he is immediately a captive audience.

If it’s the other way around, and he is completely oblivious to the fact that you’re busy, try to politely tell him to wait. Be nice and make sure you get back to him as soon as your time frees up. Predictably, picking the wrong time to talk usually takes the wrong turn.

The person being bothered becomes annoyed and the person initiating it feels dismissed. So, a good plan of action would be to ask when the best time to converse would be. It is also important to add what you want to discuss so that the other person can decide if it’s something that can wait or not.

If you do this often, you’ll also see him picking up on the cues and follow the same method. Just make sure to keep the air free of any tension.
