A good friend pointed out that most of the stories I share with them are ones about communication--mishaps, over-communication, lack of communication--and this is something I've been pondering for the last week.
Communication is like my number one value right now, it's something I'm putting a lot pf work into to become better at, and at building a healthier relationship with.
I've had a growing concern that I am, or have the high likelihood of becoming, a communication snob. And by that I mean, do I prioritise and rank certain types of communication over others? Specifically, verbal ways of communication.
I'm an INFJ/P, and I have a lot of feelings and I like to spend a lot of time thinking and processing these feelings, and then I want to share them with almost anyone who'll listen.
But not everyone operates that way.
I think that has been brought to my attention even more because I now live with a lot people who are also super emotionally-tuned and we spend hours talking and processing our feels with each other.
But this is a very micro-micro-cosm, and I want to make sure I remain fluent in other verbal methods of communicating.
Regional ways.
Because there are ways I process things that are specifically Northwest radical or West Coast radical, and they would not survive anywhere near the East Coast, the South, or my families.
I have to remain fluent in regional communication styles.
It's a cultural thing.
