Science Shows Your Actions Will Always Be Misunderstood

Science Shows Your Actions Will Always Be Misunderstood

There is none amongst us whose actions have not been misinterpreted and misunderstood at some point. Whether it was in a relationship, family or business context the fact is that an intention we thought obvious wasn't. By the time we were able to explain it things had taken on their own dynamic. Emotions were high. Trust was lost. 

The fact that we have all, at some point, in our life experienced this either as a recipient of misunderstanding or the one who misunderstood is a good indicator of how difficult it is to communicate correctly what what we think and what we feel. 

Our thoughts and emotions are not always clear to us. Making them clear to others is, usually, of secondary importance. We usually prefer our actions to speak for us. Yet observable actions can lack context. Without apparent context actions can lack meaning. Yet, nothing stays without meaning for long, no matter how meaningless it may really be. 

The reason for this lies in the way the brain works. Check out the full post here

This is a far from definitive explanation of a really complex issue bu ...
