The hardest part is gathering my thoughts to get my point across effectively. I tend to overthink or doubt myself in what I want to say.
It's easier online cause I can always read over before sending. If only my brain can do the same.

Having a weak communication skills really sucks and it kills me everyday. I always mind what people may think about me. I was scared of judgments. I can't be me. When I was about to show everyone what I really am, the thing that always blocks me from doing that was this negative thinking of mine that what if people judge me? What might others think about me? I always compare myself to others and I always look down on myself. I don't have confidence and this is really annoying. I don't want to feel this anymore. The reason why I got dumped by my ex boyfriend is because of my weak communication skills. I can't communicate what I really feel and I;m always out of words. It's annoying to be this shy and silent. I want to learn but I don't know how to start. I want to help myself to improve. Please give me some tips or if someone there have a time, please train me. I'm so frustrated. T_T

Great video! Number 9 is key, not only for persuasion, but for actually understanding others. If people believe we cannot understand their perspective, the chances of genuine communication diminish. And, even pretending to understand...can actually help you understand. But if we become combative instead, communication possibilities either become convoluted or extremely diminished.

I find it hard to put my thoughts in words.

[pyramidhead]

constantly talking over someone and not letting them get a word out is a form of being too controlling

[kickinghorse]

I do my best to "speak truth without blame or judgement" (avoiding pejoratives or demeaning and condescending tones, etc.), to maintain a conscious curiosity in the conversation partner's perspective/point of view, maintain appropriate levels of humour, as well as assume they are speaking from a place of wisdom in at least one of the 9 intelligences (mental, emotional, kinesthetic, musical, esthetic, etc.)
I also don't argue with acutely emotional individuals with an agenda - best to either re-visit the topic when things have "cooled off" or walk away altogether.
Er, if anyone cares what I do. LOL

The paraphrasing what you are hearing is a fantastic tool in your communication tool belt. I would just add that you as you put this fantastic tip into practice make sure that you do not scrunch your face and furrow your eyebrows, this could make someone feel like you are attacking them. I say this because it is a natural response when we are thinking and attempting to formulate what we have just heard to furrow the eyebrows and scrunch the face. What a fantastic video with super practical tips you can immediately put into practice. Thank you for sharing!

Listen to Learn and Understand.
Do NOT listen just to Respond.
Listen with your eyes focused on the speaker. No cellphones.
No facial expressions.
Ask questions.
Be the last to speak.
