Open and Honest communication are very important for me, and vital - I think - for any loving relationship. Violent communication blocks compassion and empathy, and disconnects us from each other. We are so very fluent in a language of blaming, shaming, judging, criticizing, moralizing, advising, analyzing, diagnosing, and telling people what’s wrong with them, instead of being able to express what we’re feeling, and what we’re needing. I’ve experienced a lot of violent communication online, a lot of judgments, hostility, blaming, and diagnosing. There’s a part of me that hears people saying that this is just how the internet is, and I shouldn’t expect anything different. I disagree. I want to live in world where compassion and kindness are our default state, and I want to speak about the harms of online violence. I think there’s another way we can learn to communicate. We can connect with the feelings and needs of ourselves, and of others, with mindful presence and empathy. Compassion and kindness are always available, and they’re transformative. I speak a lot more about these ideas in my newest video on YouTube. Link is in the bio. #nonviolentcommuncation #nonviolence #compassion #empathy #love #communication #NVC」11月11日 22時26分
