And those, of course, are the three conversations, the practical, the emotional, and the social.
But sometimes it's as simple as that, just asking someone, what do you need from this conversation?
And then telling them what you are hoping to get from this conversation as well.
So if you think about it, what's really interesting about how our brains have evolved the capacity to communicate is that the reason why communication is so important to the homo sapiens is because whoever could communicate the best survived the longest.
They were able to build families and societies and cultures that helped them persist.
And when we're in a conversation and we're really connecting with each other, something interesting happens to our bodies.
We never, of course, noticed this, but if you could pay attention, the person you're talking to, your pupils will start to dilate at the same rate.
In fact, this is probably happening between you and me right now.
We start breathing at similar rates.
And most importantly, there's these electrical impulses within our brains.
They start to match each other.
They start to look similar.
People start to think the same way.
And if you think about it, that makes sense, right?
Because when I talk, what I'm trying to do is describe a feeling or an idea, and I'm hoping that you experience that same feeling or that same idea.
Now, the issue is that you're right.
It can feel like a lot when we describe it this way.
But because our brains are designed in such a manner, building these communication habits is very, very easy.
And there's just one kind of overarching thing that you can remind yourself of that allows those instincts to come out, which is...
The goal of a conversation is to understand the other person.
