나이 먹을 수록 더 배려하는 착한 어른이 될 줄 알았는데;;; 이상하게 점점 편협해지고 사나워지는 어른이 되는 느낌이예요;;;
"Am I someone who has difficulty socializing with others?"... There are 7 signs!
- 1. Only says what they want to say
There is always someone who draws others' attention. Not because of some charm, but because they only talk about themselves. Being with such a person can make you feel unable to express what you want to say or overshadowed. It's not about suppressing a lively personality, but about giving the other person a chance to speak and share their opinions. Remember that balance is important.
2. Cannot accept criticism
Some people interpret criticism as an attack on themselves. When someone offers an opinion, they feel hurt and adopt a defensive stance, leading to unnecessary arguments. It is not easy to establish a comfortable relationship with such a person. Constructive criticism is not an personal attack but rather an opportunity for growth and development. Understanding this can improve relationships. If you find yourself becoming defensive when others express opinions about you, take a step back, breathe, and consider the other person's perspective.
3. It's too direct.
It's good to honestly express your thoughts, but there is a difference between being honest and being too blunt. People who are excessively blunt are often perceived as rude or insensitive, which can negatively affect relationships. No matter how good the intention, the message must be conveyed in the right way. Therefore, next time you want to share your opinion with someone, consider what kind of expression to use. A little wit can be helpful.
4. Does not express empathy
Empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of others, and it is very important in all relationships. When talking to someone with a lack of empathy, the other person may feel that their stories are ignored or not valued. Empathy is not about agreeing with others' opinions, but about acknowledging their perspectives and emotions. This simple change can dramatically improve relationships.
5. Reject change
The inability to easily accept new experiences or ideas can be perceived as stubbornness and inflexibility. Embracing change means accepting new experiences, thoughts, and people, and maintaining an open attitude. Although it is not easy, it is essential for personal growth and healthy relationships.
6. Making hasty judgments
An attitude of always jumping to conclusions without verifying the facts can create a negative and uncomfortable atmosphere and push people away. The other person may become reluctant to open up and speak honestly. Before making hasty judgments, try to consider and understand the other person's perspective. You may realize that what is visible is not everything.
7. Does not value other people's time
Time is precious to everyone. However, there are people who value their own time but are always late for appointments or do not respect others' schedules. Remember that respecting someone else's time is the same as respecting that person.
