Mixed Signals or Just My Imagination ?

[native]

Tone of voice is a really tricky thing. Many times I am conveying hurt, my W reads accusation.

I want compassion, but I get anger.

It is all a very indirect way of communicating, full of the possibility of misunderstanding.

It is hard for me to moniter my 'tone', especially when emotions are high.

There are communication techniques to avoid these misunderstandings...but it is difficult to learn new ways of communicating. Not impossible though.
