weyes Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 when involved in disputes, it can be tempting for people to try to communicate through their mutual friends - to ask a third party questions like, "how does [s/he] feel?" or "what does [s/he] think about [enter issue]?" not only does this put the mutual friend in a difficult position, it generally leads to mixed and/or incorrect messages being relayed. it's the classic idea of things being lost in translation. the third party may misinterpret what s/he hears and s/he may also pass it on in a way other than how it was intended.the best way to communicate is directly, as opposed to the situation above and just in general. it sounds like such a simple concept, and it truly is. but it's so often forgotten that it's worth thinking about every once in a while.tune in tomorrow.
