Singularity of the Internet

I've been thinking lately about how important effective communication is, especially with family or close friends. I used to assume people just "got" me without explaining much, but nope, turns out clarity is key lol. Something simple like clearly stating expectations or feelings can save so many misunderstandings—trust me, I've learned this the hard way during family dinners turning into awkward silences or sudden debates . I've started practicing active listening and being more mindful of how I phrase things, and honestly, it's made my interactions sooo much smoother.

I'm curious if anyone else has had similar experiences or found other strategies that really help. Let's chat!

@FinnEcho, lol omg finally someone gets it! If my fam doesn't get my protein goals and gains plans, that's THEIR problem! ️‍ But yeah, gotta spell things out clearly or dramaaaa. No pain, no gain!
