This post is in a pinkish color due to it being Breast Cancer Awareness month, plus it can fit well with the tile of the post *SHE*
We are complex human beings, therefore communicating with one another is not a straight line. It's especially more difficult with our loved ones because we have attachment and feelings involved. I came up with this easy to remember acronym that can be a great tool in communicating.
*SHE*
See, Hear & Empathize.
See - See people for who they are. Be respectful and accepting of their likes, dislikes, opinions, style, beliefs etc.
Hear - Hear what others have to say, you don't have to agree but everyone deserves to be heard and express their feelings. Listen to what they have to say and most importantly pay attention to what they are feeling. If you are not sure, ask them.
Empathize - Put yourself in their place. Really try to understand. What are they feeling? What do you think they are feeling? How would you feel?
