Do I perceive perchance that particular perception of popular people is puzzling? Do popular people perceive the same perspective I peruse? Is empathy to another person’s perspective particularly unpopular these days?
Seems to me that these days we all (myself included), perceive that other peoples perspective’s are irrelevant to the way they deal with ourselves. We tend to be intolerant of people because they react a certain way to a perceived situation. The fact is, they probably have a different perspective, and perceive the situation differently. These in turn causes unexpected reactions from those we perceive to be the correct course of action. Should we impose our perception on these people? Is their perception wrong? Is yours?
The fact is, it’s usually just different. People have different ways of dealing with different situations. We can try our best to make our intentions clear, and our desired outcomes obvious, but unless we specifically outline how we expect things to work, then we must expect individuality and different perceptions to make things happen differently to the way you expect.
Communication is a huge part of this… Providing clear instructions or polite, but detailed requests for tasks. Talking to the person involved finding out their perceptions of what happened. Understanding also, that when someone asks you about something, they are trying (In my case usually unsuccessfully) to assertion your perception of a given situation. Also it’s best not to assume what other people maybe thinking, or perceiving, and talk to them about it, instead of just thinking you know them.
Do I practice what I preach here? Hmmm… I try to, but most of the time it’s unsuccessful, due to my inadequacy in getting people to understand my perspective…
