The issue of miscommunication is very significant. It could be a dangerous hazard and is entirely our responsibility. It starts moments after the first contact and ends with an astonishing explosion…

The biggest error we make is always believing that there is complete alignment in expectations from both sides. We don’t try to pick out our partner’s thoughts to find the expectations he has. But there’s one thing that we almost always agree on: he doesn’t ignore an opportunity ….to widen the expectation gap We have not been notified by anyone.

There are a myriad of causes that can cause communication issues. Square people are more likely to communicate in a misguided manner more than liberal people, while aggressive personalities may have difficulty aligning their expectations with the expectations of passive people. This is simple to spot as everyone can tell the difference between the liberal, and passive from the aggressive.

Imagine if they were different? Imagine the personality gap. Nobody has ever traced it or warned about it, or investigated it…NOT even been frightened! !

I’d like to introduce you, ladies and gentlemen an entirely new kind of personality that we all share: the FULL-CIRCLE personality versus people from the half circle! !

This analysis offers guidelines for behavior. Try to figure which personality best describes what you’re like Then, try to find out the person who is your partner. If you discover you are two different people – as Bono sings, “we can be one, but not the same” You should be very content as you may have identified the cause of the differences between you. If, however, you are two of the same type I’m sorry to say that I’m unable to explain the reasons why your relationships look horrible.

We are now…

Two types of human beings exist. Certain people are “full-circle”, which is a self-contained person who is completely at home being all by him. He’s in need of a partner. Absolutely! It’s true! … But, he can’t live without his dream partner until he finds one. Once he’s discovered one, he’d like to live his life shoulder to shoulder with his hopefully complete circle of a partner.

Half-a-circle people make up the remaining half of the human race. Once they have found the miserable animal, they won’t let it go. To create an encircling circle, they’ll attempt to integrate their victim physically. They’ll not be compromising on being in a position to gaze at one other for the rest their lives. They will not settle for anything less intimate to meet their need to be integrated with each other and make up a whole.

An interesting observation in these two types: the choice to let go of a partner. The whole circle will typically let go of a partner with whom he has lost his chemistry quickly. However, half-circles will alter the definition of chemistry between two people to mean – “I am holding on to this B..ST..RD. until I am able to replace him with a new upgrade.”

Imagine a dance where the half-circle and the full circle are trying to make their partner feel happy. The half is able to take two steps forward past the comfortable zone. The unexpected intrusion into the privacy of his own is slightly intimidating. So he fixes this zone-invasion-problem by making a gentle step backward. The issue is that he has stepped out of his comfort zone …. and while the Half was certain that the Full was making an innocent error The Half starts to get annoyed and makes another step in the opposite direction. They understand why, but due to lack of proper terminology, they cannot properly explain their agony and they turn towards the wrong directions! They could have been spared by knowing that the item they’re searching for is Half and the other one is full.
