I do think it depends on whether or not we really know ourselves and trust someone enough to want them to know US - with all our beauty and flaws. Are we speaking or are we saying what we think our parents or friends want us to say? Or what we think this person wants to hear? You have to be willing to speak your truth. If you can't express your feelings, needs, desires, fears & dreams then it's pretty tough for someone to "know" the real you. I absolutely believe it is!

It probably starts with you really wanting to know the other person and them really wanting to be known! I suppose it depends on the definition of “really” knowing someone. It probably starts with you really wanting to know the other person and them really wanting to be known!

I think that alot of times as we are "listening" we are usually already thinking of our response to what the other person said or to busy trying to interpret what they are telling us. If we truly are present for that person and really listen to them I think it would become clearer what they are trying to say. After reading this I will definitely work on my listening skills. Thanks Jo-Ann Very interesting.

I think that is why communication can be difficult. You never know exactly where the other person is coming from ,at the time ,you are communicating to them. You also never know if the person is going to hear what you had to say the way you meant it. Interesting!! I agree. I think that is why communication can be difficult.
