Deep dives

The Iceberg of Communication

Many individuals struggle to communicate their true feelings during conflicts, often resorting to indirect or passive-aggressive remarks. This behavior stems from a fear of openly addressing deeper emotions, leading to a lack of honesty in interactions. For instance, instead of directly expressing concern about a partner's behavior, they might question decisions in a roundabout way, hoping the partner will decipher unspoken worries. This avoidance prevents genuine dialogue and perpetuates misunderstandings, as communication remains at the surface level, rather than addressing the core issues beneath.
