It's been forever since I've been in this house. Iscolated back in the woods, child hood memories locked up in it. Not ever coming out. The leaves crunch while I walk. My muscles tense and frigid. My stomach stiring up something...that I will probably regret. Why am I....so scared to go in here? I look at it. Broken floor boards. It's so quiet I can hear the blood roar in my ears. Anticipating. I feel like I am prey...waiting to be pounced on, but, I'm not sure why? I fumble with my hands as the dark shadows of the house loomed over me. My breath is a fog in the wind. My hair wisps against my ears. I step on to the wooden step. It barely breaks through. One disrupt sound in the forest. I take a breath, and walk in.
Mind reading, filtering, derailing, judging, and placating are five factors that can hamper and effective communication. Mind reading is when a person assumes to know what the other is thinking about without even bothering to ask the person; filtering is when a person seems to listen but is clearly ignoring some points of the discussion; derailing is when a person suddenly changes the topic of discussion; judging is when a person is too quick to evaluate the other person without even trying to understand how the person feels; and placating is when a person agrees to quickly without even thinking about his decisions.
These are all blockages to an effective communication which can lead to conflicts and problems to be left unsolved.
