Omission

Person 1: You coming to the game tonight?

Person 2: Nah, I'm busy with homework.

Person 1: Come on, there's going to be a ton of free food and a ton of girls are going.

Person 2: Really? Fine, I'll go.

Later that Night....

Person 2: You completely lied to me, there was only free small chip bags and there were like four girls who were only there for their brothers playing in the game.

Person 1: It was a small white lie, no big deal man.

Deceptive Communication

Deception hurts us emotionally, and it erodes our trust in others, however we sometimes lie to encourage others, or to make them feel better in the long run. In that same way, it is impolite to tell the truth at all times.

Flaming

Person 1: Hey, so it looks like I won't be making it to the dinner tonight.

Person 2: Are you serious? We've waited four weeks to get this reserved, and you're going to bail on us now? You are actually the worst person to invite to things. You always end up bailing on us last minute, just like you do with everything else.

Person 1: I wish you would've said that to my face.

Difficulties are meant to rouse, not discourage. The human spirit is to grow strong by conflict.

Interpersonal Conflict

Conflict is often communicated verbally, but it can also be conveyed with nonverbal behaviors that express anger, concern, or disappointment. Managing conflict can be productive overall, but it is a very challenging thing to do.

Person 1: Cool, how does Friday sound?
