Misunderstandings and their repercussions on relationships

Every relationship, except a few ones which are instinctive, is based on mutual understanding. Unless you read others’ minds, you do not tie the knots with them. Sometimes it happens that you get in bond unconsciously as your thoughts are quite at par with
those of the other one.

Relationships remain intact unless understandings do. When a little crack of misunderstanding takes place, a bundle of doubts, speculations and qualms start creeping in, pilling up to a mountain which is hard to conquer sometimes. And this thing writes the
obituaries of ties whether they span on years.

Misunderstandings are natural, you cannot avoid them. Apart from relationships spheres, every individual has his personal life as well. In your daily routine, you do not keep sticking to a single person but you have to deal with multiple people having different
natures, mindsets and life styles. Thus, your social life becomes a source of tension in your relationships. Your friends and dear ones, who automatically have pinned a lot of expectations with you, start misperceiving you.

What if misunderstandings are bound to occur, should we let them go untouched and ruin our bonds? Not at all. We can easily tackle the post-misunderstandings situations provided we act and react wisely.

Misunderstandings are disastrous when there is a gap of communication between the parties which are in relationships. Since we possess high egos and self-esteems, we often do not bother to share our misunderstandings with the other parties which, in turn,
also do the same. Thus acids of suspicions, doubts and ill feelings continue to gather, and finally turn into a killing poison which, in most cases, has not antidote.

The easy and only way to cure misunderstandings is sharing of emotions, feeling and thoughts with your partners. If you feel something wrong for a person or you are angry with him/her, just go and tell everything clearly. Point the fault lines out and notify
the problems. Once you do so, you are mentally free. You do not carry the burden of misunderstandings more. You are at peace. The other person, if he/she is sincere with you, will surely understand the situation and act to fix the fault lines.

Thus, you can save relationships or at least go for happy endings. Concealing and rearing grudges prove to be detrimental not only for the bond, but also for the parties involved in it.

So always be open, frank and communicative with the persons you make ties with. Always share everything, as sharing is caring.
