How To Communicate Effectively
By Melinda Clayton, M.S., LPC, LMHC. Posted on .
One woman reveals the secret to understanding men and guess what? It's no secret.
3. Finally, communicate directly. If he asks what's wrong, tell him. If you're angry, say so. Don't expect him to read your mind, and don't expect him to chase after you all day in a futile attempt to drag out of you whatever is bothering you. Take responsibility for expressing your own thoughts and desires effectively. Communication isn't a guessing game, but manipulation is. Don't confuse the two.
Effective communication with a man is no more difficult than expressing yourself honestly and directly. Chances are, if you're experiencing difficulties interacting with men, you're experiencing difficulties interacting in general.
