    The issue of miscommunication is serious. It’s like an open-air minefield. It begins just a second after coming into contact with a person and then ends with an astonishing explosion…

    The most common mistake we make is to believe that we are completely aligned in our expectations of each side without trying to figure out what our partner expects from us. The one thing we do agree on is that our friend is not afraid to increase the gap in expectations ….. There’s no one in the world who can warn us of the coming clash.

    There are many possible sources of miscommunication. Most are due to personality differences. Square people are more likely to miscommunicate than liberal personalities, while individuals who are aggressive may have trouble aligning their expectations with the expectations of passive people. This isn’t difficult to spot – we all know the difference between squared and liberal, and active from passive.

    But, they may not even realize they are so different. Think about if there is a gap in personality. It’s never been discovered and has never been reported or studied by anyone. !

    Let me introduce you, ladies and gentlemen, to an entirely new kind of personality we all have: the FULL CIRCLE personalities in contrast to the half-circular people. !

    Note : This analysis is intended to provide behavioral guidance. After reading this report, you’ll be able to identify the personality that best describes you. It is also possible to determine your life partner. If you realize that you are of distinct types – like Bono song says “we are all one, but we are different” If you do, then be thrilled because you may have just discovered the root-cause for the differences between you! If however, you’re identical in your appearance and you’re both of the same type, then I’m not able to tell you why your relationships look so horrible.

    Let’s get started…

    We humans are divided into two. Certain people are “full-circle” who are a self-contained person who feels completely at home by him. Yes, he wants to connect with other people and the truth is, he’s always seeking someone to share his life with. Absolutely! Absolutely! … BUT, until he has found his dream partner, he CAN survive without one. If he can find the right one and has found the right one, he’ll be able to continue his life with his full circle partner.

    Half-a-circle people make up the remaining half of the human race. When they find the grumpy creature that they have found, they will not let it go. They will attempt to live with their victim as if were one of them and not give up on the idea of living together. The Halves will never compromise their affection for one another. They will look at each other in the same way from a distance for the rest. Only intimacy will satisfy their need to connect with one another and form a whole.

    Interesting observation between these two types: the decision to let go of a partner. The complete circle will usually let go quickly of the person they’ve lost chemistry. The half-circle type , however, will redefine the meaning of having an enmity with their partner. They will say that they’re holding on to this B..ST..RD until they can replace him with an upgrade.

    Imagine the amazing dance that occurs when a “half a-circle”, and a ‘full-circle”, are trying to make each other, without being aware of their different geometries. The Half is smiling and makes two steps forward. The Full is a bit frightened by this unwelcome invasion to be somewhat frightening. So he fixes this zone-invasion-problem by making a gentle step backward. Only problem is that by that he pushed the Half out of his comfort zone. Once …. the Half is sure that the Full has made an innocent wrong move and promptly compensates with another step forward, the Full begins to be irritated and takes a bigger step to the back.. the Half begins to suspect that there’s something wrong regarding what’s happening this time and his next move is not gentle at all.. The Full.. The Half.. The Full and the half both are angry at one another. They cannot describe their hurt and are unsure of the reason. The victims could have been saved had they known that the one they are searching for is Half while the other is fully.

    While there’s no one solution, there are a few actions you can take.

    1. Discover who you are.

    2. Find out who your partner is

    3. There’s a difference.

    3. Respect this distinction!

    Actually, there is a conclusion actually, one conclusion: Live and let live.
