How to improve your communication with others?

    One of the most important thing for healthy and long-term relationships (read our post about healthy relationship) is the good communication.

(If you missed our post on how to improve the communication inside your relationship, you can read it: here.)

1. They are active listeners.

- We already mentioned that good communication depends on active listening. The good listeners are active listeners. They don’t allow other things to take away their attention (for example: their mobile phone, TV, or other people) while they are talking with someone. They put everything down and focus on the person in front of them, so the other person knows that they have an interest in what they have to say.

- While someone else is talking, the good listeners don't interrupt, talking over them or finish their sentences for them.

- They wait and watch for nonverbal communication, like gestures, facial expressions and eye - movements. The good listeners don’t just listen with their ears, but also with their eyes. They watch and pick up the additional information being transmitted via non-verbal communication.

12 things you should remember about introverts.

   We all know someone who is an introvert. Or maybe you are an introvert person and sometimes others have difficulties to understand how you feel in some situations. Many people think that the introverts don’t enjoy having fun or being around other people, but that is not true.

    So, if you are an extrovert and you want to understand and love someone who is an introvert, please remember these important things about the introverts.

1. They enjoy spening some time alone - That gives them a chance to gather their thoughts and recharge their energy. 

2. They like other people - They aren’t necessarily anti-social. They just don’t get energized by people and sometimes they need a little extra time to get closer with someone. They want to get to know you better before they actually show that they enjoy your company.

Common traits of pathological liars.

   All of you have told a lie before. Me too. But some people have a real and serious problem with lying. They struggle deep inside to be honest and to tell the truth. In psychology and psychiatry they are known like pathological liars. They are addicted to lying. They lie with ease and find comfort in it. It can be really hard, even impossible for us to get them to admit that they lied.

Pathological lying, also known as compulsive, chronic, or habitual lying, is not a psychological disorder and it has no documented list of symptoms. It is a common symptom in a number of mental health issues, such as borderline personality disorder and narcissistic personality disorder.
