...Excellent feedback, Nick! Thanks for sharing. <br /><br />I have definitely caught myself in the trap of salutation-questions and I'm a big fan of the idea of getting specific.<br /><br />I agree with you that communication is of the highest importance in nearly all aspects of life. I think that saying "hello" and being friendly with people in the service industries (per your example of a grocery clerk, and also toll-booth workers, mail delivery workers, etc) is a good way to show them that you recognize their service, even if you don't ask how they are doing. Wishing people a good day or night can be an equally good way to let people know that you appreciate their service via good communication!Meg McGuirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15713897737370880635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4430107591526871812.post-11003698582562514862014-01-26T19:37:48.778-08:002014-01-26T19:37:48.778-08:00Meg... i usually only ask specific questions abo...Meg... i usually only ask specific questions about someone (like "how was work?" or "how is your family/gf/bf/wife/husband/etc?") IF i really care about them. otherwise i usually don't even ask people. pretty much because of the reason you stated above: the effort to really understand how a person is/was/will be feeling.<br /><br />i totally subscribe to the belief that communication is the most important thing. but i also value respect. sometimes when i'm at the grocery store, i feel bad for asking how the checker is because i know he/she is not happy for whatever reason. but i still make the attempt to show that i'm not like everyone else.<br /><br />recently, my 5 year relationship failed. most likely due to the lack of communication on her part, but had i read that article you linked in your post by that therapist, i think it might've helped out.Nick2khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05190816695169512851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4430107591526871812.post-31947583636099766142014-01-09T18:16:58.639-08:002014-01-09T18:16:58.639-08:00National Geographic site:
