" The Art Of An Unspoken Langauge " (29)
What would you like to talk about? I'm listening......

Guess it would help if I spelled language correctly....
No wonder we can not communicate with each other.

as the majority of language is not by spoken means, the real art of communication is to understand your own body language.
But to listen and watch is, indeed, a dying art. We feel that we have to get our opinions out as fast as possible, and that unless we do that it will invalidate our thinking somehow.
Our society is all about now, now, now, and with that we dont have time to listen to others.
We should slow down and take stock of who we are and what we do.
But until we do, then the art of listening will still be difficult

It's not all about now, now, now. Is also all about me, me, me.

Why is it so hard for men and women to talk to each other, I mean really talk?
Express desires and needs in a relationship, tell the other what you need from a relationship.....
Why do some people hold in thoughts?

Fear is one reason. Fear of rejection. Also, fear of sharing on a level deeper than the surface. Anything you say may be used against you at a later date.

Think that is a two way street. Because of the I want tit now society that we live in, I believe that no onw really wants to take the time to get to the level of communication that you are searching for.

If you have to ask someone for attention in a relationship does that mean that person is just laid back or that he/she does not really care?

There are also those individuals that seem to bring every past relationship with them into the present. Sometimes the person across from you isn't really reacting to you at all, and reacting to past relationship issues they haven't yet dealt with.
Then of course fear comes into it - fear of rejection, fear of letting someone see you vulnerable, fear of losing your independence,etc. and there are two completely different scenarios going on in both parties heads.
Fear and excitement are the same emotion. Its just different perspectives. One must remember that love is quiet. Its the negatives that stand up in front and yell.

Sounds to me like maybe he isn't all that into you. Or perhaps you are wanting much more from this than he is willing to give.

Good post.
How do they expect to ever have any type of lasting relationship when they can not show how they feel or even express themselves to you?
Do we just assume that things are going well in our relationships with each other instead of putting it out there and asking for more?

why is it that no one wants to take the time?

I just think that if you put it out there, and they don't stick around, maybe they aren't the one that is strong enough for what you specifically need?
Of course there is patience as well.
Where is that line drawn?
Patience -------------- and --------------- laying it down..

I agree with what is being said, however, why do they keep staying around?
Are we to the point that our relationships have become mere conveniences to us? Do we schedule each other into our lives?
Is it out of loneliness?
There is so much more that can be shared.....we seem to be afraid of it.

The level of commitment would have to run deeper than it does. This would also show a lack of self-centeredness which is way too abundant in todays society. Don't give up hope though. I do believe that people do get to the point of being able to take a relationship to the next, deeper level. It just takes a while to find them.

Another opinion is that today, if things don't come quick and easy, then we just throw them away and get new.

Well in the meantime, do you wait?
Just curious?

I tend to be a bit obsessive-compulsive, so what I would do doesn't matter. Keep your eyes open to other possibilities, continue on with your life and don't worry about this person so much. By getting on with your life, one of two things will happen. He will either realize what he has been doing and get it together, or he will bail. Either way, you'll have an answer.

Unless you enjoy talking to yourself,it takes two for human communication. This usually means one to speak and the other to LISTEN. But listeners are as rare as sensitive speakers. Most of us have forgotten the fine art of listening as well as speaking.
What are your thoughts on this?
