On a number of occasions, I’ve either heard or read the following statement:
“You can’t over communicate.”
And I’m not sure I agree with that.
Here are my reasons:
You can talk too much.
Which means you’re not listening that much.
You can listen too actively.
Which comes off as annoying and fake.
You can ask too many questions.
Which turns you into an interrogator.
You can be around too much.
Which might give someone the impression that you’re spying on her.
You can violate someone’s boundaries.
Which makes them feel uncomfortable.
You can use someone’s name too often.
Which appears unnecessary, forced and inauthentic.
You can check up on people too much.
Which demonstrates a lack of trust and unwillingness to relieve ownership.
What do YOU think?
LET ME ASK YA THIS…
Is it possible to overcommunicate?
LET ME SUGGEST THIS…
If so, post your examples here! If not, share with us anyway!
