More prying eyes lead to more miscommunication.”

“Be Genuine The best first thing that you can do in building rapport is to present yourself as you are. You don’t have to adopt a new persona or even sound like a salesman when presenting yourself.

“When you talk to a person and you try your best to avoid meeting their eyes, this is a telltale sign that you are not giving the conversation your full attention. This includes constantly checking your watch or phone, scanning the room, or looking out the window. Most Western countries value eye contact as a basic foundation for active communication. This is quite important as certain conversations can take a while to get finished. If you are not comfortable locking eyes with the other person, you invite all urges to get up and move. As such, when a person is speaking to you, put everything unnecessary down. If you are typing something at your computer, stop it. If you are writing something down, stop it. If you are eating, for the sake of the conversation and to prevent yourself from choking on your food, stop it. “But what if”

“But the tank’s bossiness and domineering bravado is not them at their most lethal. The tank loves a fight and will absolutely demolish the opposition through sheer force and a louder, shriller voice. They might even goad others to oppose them for the thrill of it. Once they are done with you, you will feel defeated and confused as to what the hell just happened. One other element that makes the tank deadly is their relationship with you, professional or otherwise. Perhaps they are your boss or your close friend. They might even be your partner, much to your dismay. Tanks often occupy the topmost positions in any group due to their personality or were made into tanks because of their position.”

“Internal noise can include something as simple as being tired or having an upset stomach or becoming drunk. Any change in your body is undoubtedly going to impede the way you communicate, think, and feel. But, in this regard, it is best to deal with the most common and intense internal noises: stress and anger. Being under pressure is a universal feeling among humans. However, it does change the way we communicate and, for most of the time, it is for the worst. On the flip side, no good has ever come out of suppressing your anger and frustrations. Instead, you should learn”

“In most cases, your goal in any communication is an understanding. Being vindicated, proven right, or even “winning” is not something that you ought to aim for unless, of course, you are in a debate or a trial. In every interaction you have, the goal is to always make that other person see your perspective and you of theirs. Keep this goal in mind and you could guide every word that you say to make that relationship functional.”
