Communication Complexities

We all run into this issue. How to communicate effectively without affecting the relationship in disagreements. one person might be better at communicating whereas the other might be more defensive. How do you navigate an unbalanced relationship/friendship when it comes to communicating needs or wants? Do you have to accept being the peace keeper? How do you grow and be better at communicating and problem solving with other individuals? How do you recognize if YOU are the emotionally immature one? There is no simple answer- each desire or each question involves looking deeper into the relationship, the other individuals needs and your own needs. Sometimes, it means being the peacekeeper so that you can encourage growth and communication within the other person. Sometimes it means listening better analyzing key points in conversation to see if you validating others and taking responsibility. We are all different, therefore, we all communicate differently. Sometimes our past relationships, and even our family dynamics affect how we have learned to communicate. It is important for growth in any realm, to recognize what works positively or negatively in previous relationships or in previous dynamics that might be aiding or preventing a healthy communication balance.  A good gauge for self awareness when in a disagreement is to see where your heightened levels are. Or what "triggers" you. Take note of these and later ask yourself why did this upset me or why did this trigger me or why did my heart start beating faster when you have an answer to these questions then you can better assess where to start on having better communication techniques for a more positive conversation and conclusion in future disagreements
