About this listen
“But I already told them!” Yeah, you did. And they still didn’t get it.
This episode explores the gap between saying something clearly and someone actually understanding what you mean - and why that gap is where most of our relationship frustrations live. We’ll talk about the invisible context problem (all the stuff in your head that didn’t make it into your words), why “I communicated it” isn’t the same as “they comprehended it,” and how to actually check if someone understands what you’re trying to say.
If you’ve ever been frustrated that someone “just isn’t getting it” even though you’ve explained it multiple times, this one’s for you. Communication is important, but comprehension is where the real work happens.
