Communication is a fluid thing and it changes depending on who, where, what and why I suppose, but the fundamentals are always the same.
You raise an interesting point about being nervous when it comes to face to face communications with certain people and I think that can be a big issue...one that won't improve if one does it less. There's some fundamental elements to good communication and it can then get quite complicated the more one delves into it, however there's some really great resources to help people improve their skills. Avoidance is not one of them.
It's not avoiding...I am good at known one but when it comes to talking any new eye to eye then I start shaking my kegs...but last few years I managed that...
I didn't say you were avoiding, I was speaking generally about people avoiding situations that make them feel awkward or uncomfortable (face to face conversations, public speaking, difficult decisions and so on) and how the way forward is to learn to do things better rather than avoidance.
There is an art of doing everything...and avoiding them may result in making people.introvert...The more we face the challenges the more we get better...and polish our personality
I like that line you wrote:
Well said indeed!
😇😇😇 life teaches us many things
Life surely does, sometimes in easy ways and sometimes through hard lessons. Learning is learning though.
At the end it is important to learn the lesson..and make sure not to repeat the situation again
