hi ~KES, i'm in :)

maybe another good idea is to try to put oneself in the shoes of the other, so when you express yourself you'll do it in the “language” the other person understands.

I have discovered that each of us think differently (duh), but that includes that each person interprets everything, body signs, words, other signals, and even whole conversations in their own way (we not only think differently, but what we think about “what thinking is” is also always personal, and almost impossible to communicate. like some buddhist saying i think, is “like trying to scratch your right elbow with your right hand”).

In an exchange of ideas about an important subject, unless the discussion is long and everything is checked and rechecked (although sometimes one knows when the other person gets your point excatly without trying to corroborate right there), the most common output is that each part's conclusion is very different from the other.

I think point 3 is most important to consider, most people usually only care about what they want and everything else just passes by.
