I really wonder why it’s impossible to communicate with some people, although after all these years, it really shouldn’t surprise me anymore. Some people simply don’t want to communicate; they know it and shoot back at you whenever you tried, without even letting you finishes a sentence.

This type of people only wants to hear the things they want to hear, and say all kind of things about others without bothering to care how they feel – only that they themselves would feel better after saying it. They’re selfish, they know it, admit it freely and refuse to change their ways anyway.

It causes too much problem when they’re living together with other people. They expects too much and demands it to be done immediately after the requirement was not met without stopping to ponder why it was not fulfilled in the first place. They talked about the things they wanted to say; only listened to things they wanted to hear and all else is an offense.

I’m really tired trying to communicate with such a person; sure I can keep up the surface pretense that everything is alright even though deep down we don’t understand each other at all. It’s not like I didn’t try but whenever I did, I was just shoot down by forced reasoning, loud voice and a strong refusal to even hear me out…

Sometimes you just need to sit down and listen, listen to what others think and spare a small thought for them…

Sometimes a passing praise is more than enough to make someone extremely happy instead of just pointing out their bad point; even if it helps them more that way…

Sometimes thinking about things from another perspective is more important than you might think it is…
