10 years ago | Posted in: Articles | 855 Views

Relationship isn’t holding hands while you understand each other. It’s about having lots of misunderstandings and still not leaving each other’s hands.

‘Mistakes and misunderstandings are painful when they occur.” nevertheless as life goes on, these occurrences turn into experience that add value to relationships and life. Misunderstandings are perhaps the single greatest source of our arguments and fights with each other. They occur for many reasons. Understanding where they come from and how to avoid them will go a long way to strengthen relationships and avoid fights. It is important to understand what constitutes a misunderstanding. We’ve all experienced someone confusing our intentions with what we said. We’ve all had someone misquote what we said. It’s frustrating. A misunderstanding could be the result of several things or some combination thereof:

1. Hearing something that wasn’t said.
2. Not hearing something that was said.
3. Not understanding what was said.
4. Not knowing how to say something.
5. Thinking you said something that you really didn’t.
6. Misreading body-language.

We’ve all been there. We’ve struggled with explaining something in words that is more felt or abstract. We’ve all thought we heard someone say something that they did not, and we’ve all fallen victim to someone else’s twisted interpretation of what we’ve said. It is so easy to fall into a misunderstanding. In fact, there will undoubtedly be folk who misunderstand portions of this article. There are many reasons for that, but they can all lead to communication problems. In my significant misunderstanding, I learned a lot, even if I got heart broken. But don’t you learn by things like that? I think so. He might have hurt me a lot at the end, but I will still remember how we started in the beginning. Plus, I know I will get over him, and then find someone else in my life. There’s a person for everybody in the world, you just have to look a lot.

However, if neutralised or sorted out, mistakes and misunderstandings can give rise to many advantageous effects.A sorted out misunderstanding increases the bond between two people, further securing the relationship and thus adding value to it. Mistakes committed are an added experience in one’s life. They further help show the right pathway to success which in the end is what really matters.
Even though mistakes and misunderstandings can backfire drastically causing crucial consequences, in my opinion, they are important happenings as in the end they make a huge difference in one’s life once neutralized or sorted out.
