The Importance of Avoiding Assumptions
Assumptions can lead to significant misunderstandings when attempting to connect with others. Often, individuals fail to fully grasp another person's experiences and perspectives due to preconceived notions that bypass inquiry. By making assumptions, one may impose their interpretations onto others, potentially distorting their reality and hindering effective support. The principle of 'Don't assume, ask' emphasizes the necessity of engaging directly with others to gain genuine understanding and provide appropriate assistance.
