So for those who don't know, I am a college student and my major is communication. Specifically I'm focusing on communication in the workplace, HOWEVER we are required to take classes that apply to many different aspects of every day communication. Anyway there is this thing we call "leaking" and essentially it's like little hints to what we are really feeling in a conversation almost like what people use to "read people" or a "situation." Well you know the whole "say what our mean and mean what you say" yeah apparently people usually means what they say the first time they mention it. So for example, if someone says that something isn't really important to them, if it is the first time in the conversation they have mentioned their opinion on the subject most of the time (around 91% or 97% I can't remember the exact statistic) that is their "unfiltered" truth which you could call a verbal "leak". Unfortunately being in America (not sure if it is the same for other countries) we tend to immediately leak right back to the person especially if we disagree with their opinion and that causes the people to immediately try to bandage the situation or the comment to "tailor" it to not be as harsh or negative sounding...i.e. "oh all I meant was..."or "I meant that like..." or (and this one is my favorite) the "let me explain". Sadly, Whatever comes after the initial comment is usually garbage anyway and a flat out attempt not to upset you which I find very irritating. I just thought that I should warn people since the subjects to really watch out for are: relationships, money, self worth, partner/spouse worth and especially friendships...

To put a long story short communication is a fun major to take but it also has its bad sides of revealing people you probably shouldn't trust as much as you really want to I've been finding a lot of people I've spent a lot of time and effort are just not worth it now and it sucks and all but at the same time if I'm not that important to you then why the hell should you be important to me? Lol just a thought anyway any thoughts comments on this subject matter would be fun and awesome to hear! Go ahead and comment below or send me a bot if you're a private furson :p
