Post 3.1: Interpersonal Conflicts - Reply from a troubled youth

Thanks to everyone for helping suggest solutions to my problem.

Anyway, I called her up after a few days and we calmly spoke it over. We both realised our mistakes and apologised to each other. But.... Even though we finally came to an understanding, this incident will still be in our memories forever.

Troubled




Well, I too would like to thank everyone for their suggestions on how Troubled could patch his relationship. I'm glad that most of us could see that emotions do play a heavy part in how we interpret messages.

Also, I think this scenario shows that communications can be hampered when people are not face-to-face since you are not able to see the subtle body language of the other person. As most people replied that a face-to-face talk to settle the issue would be for the best, I think everyone realised this important point too.

Overall, we must remember that communication can be easily misinterpreted, especially when one does not have the full picture of a situation.
