Why Don't We Talk?

The Erosion of Connection Through Silence

It turns out we lost. You didn’t ask and I didn’t tell.

One person's alienation from another often begins with silence.

When a person refuses to explain when faced with your questioning and doubts, the relationship has already turned sour.

A relationship without communication and understanding will only look pale and weak. After every conflict, what is left is one person’s silence and the other person’s helplessness.

In life, we experience different things and feel differently every day. Only by talking and listening to each other can we truly understand each other.

If no one asks and no one talks, then no matter how familiar the people are, they will gradually lose their common language, and no matter how deep the relationship is, it will gradually lose its foundation. If there is no desire to talk and listen, the relationship will be broken. That's almost the end.

    So sad and so true. Communication is so incredibly important.

    Basically, when no one talks, things fall apart. Silence kills relationships—communication is the glue that holds everything together! So, chat it out before things get awkward!😊
