It almost feels contradictory, because I feel like I am expected sometimes to read someone else's mind and make changes, but if you aren't aware of what specifically is bothering someone, how then can you be expected to repair a relationship?<BR/>Sometimes it can be more challanging with "authority" figures, because the boundaries are different in professional realationships. <BR/>If you have a chance, do you have any feedback or thoughts? <BR/>Thanks, Paul.<BR/><BR/>p.s<BR/>your survey was a lot of fun to complete.

I politely asked someone to be quiet and instead it caused a scene and I felt like I was "the bad guy" because I was trying to make a polite request. Sometimes I think I have trouble finding an easy medium. It is hard to find the balance between what is a simple distraction and what is interfering with my ability to listen. Is that what you mean by looking at the other point of view, and asking myself how the other person felt when I kindly asked them to be quiet.<BR/>Sometimes just dealing with people is a lesson in itself. <BR/>Thinking back to what you said in another post, maybe it would just be easier to forgive the other person and move on with my life. Don't dwell on it and waste a days' energy.<BR/><BR/>If you have a chance, could you respond back? Thanks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
