Communication is humanity's flaw.
Today is another day, and so is tomorrow. But in this moment, I don't know what I'm doing. I have a man in my life that does what almost every other guy does; he doesn't articulate what he's thinking/feeling. Which makes it really hard to ascertain where I stand in our "relationship". This man that I'm griping about is the same man from my previous post -Bad Day-.
I am so uncertain of things right now and I have come to the conclusion that I don't like how that feels. I'm the type of person that wants the details, so I can't paint the whole picture. Not just the general sense of the portrait to be painted because that leaves too much to the imagination and let's be honest, women don't do well when left alone with their imaginations. They tend to run wild and crazy, which leads to overthinking, which leads to creating problems that aren't even real! So a fight ensues based on something that a woman's imagination concocted all because the man won't/can't articulate his thoughts/feelings/wants/needs to the woman. Who else are you supposed to tell those things to if not your significant other. She won't judge you, and you the man, should judge her either.
Communication is humanity's biggest flaw, or rather the lack thereof. When you can walk into a room and feel the tension, you know something is up. But when asked if everything is ok, we jump to our failsafe; it's fine. Granted sometimes everything is fine, but I'm willing to guess that oh say 60% of the time everything is not fine. I know I'm low balling with that percent but I'm giving humanity the benefit of the doubt here. When things aren't fine, who are you supposed to let it out to? A therapist that charges $100 an hour OR (my choice) your significant other. Other than the physical aspect of a relationship, the other part is talking and sharing. Why does that seem so difficult?
