Connect The Dots

The most common gap with communication and the frustration resulting from this in the expanse of human experience and social interaction is this:

Everyone, and I mean everyone, foolishly anticipates that people behave in a manner that is within the scope of their paradigms of familiarity.

Except that everyone has their own paradigm of familiarity.

And none of them, nada nada single one, is exactly the same.

Take a good long potty sitting thunk on that.

This isn’t a problem as long as you approach others with this in mind. Perhaps another doesn’t want you to hug them upon greeting, perhaps telling someone personal tidbits upon initial contact is too much information. If we’re conscious and sensitive to these social and personal boundaries through verbal, social, body language cues, we won’t need to worry about this paradigm because we always have it forefront in our mind’s eye. It is basic distilled human empathy.
