Hearing another while we’re deaf to ourselves

According to the dictionary of the Turkish language institution, communication is defined as the situation of “transferring feelings, thoughts or information to others in every conceivable way”. What is transmitted can be called a message. When you send a message to someone, the person receiving this message can deduce one or more meanings from the message he reads. If we think about the phone message that frequently increases in our daily use, we use ’emoji’ when we are telling an event to our friend, because he cannot see our face, so that he can recognize our emotion. We even sometimes send a voicemail so that he can fully recognize our enthusiasm for the event.

According to the Turkish language institution dictionary, communication, ”Transferring feelings, thoughts or information to others by any means imaginable” called status. What is transmitted can be called a message. When you send a message to someone, the person receiving this message can deduce one or more meanings from the message he reads. If we think about the phone message that frequently increases in our daily use, we can tell our friend about an event so that he can realize our emotion because he can’t see our face. ’emoji ‘ we use. We even sometimes send a voicemail so that he can fully recognize our enthusiasm for the event. Just like this process that a phone message is exposed to, we send hundreds, even thousands of messages every day and communicate directly with someone. In order for a healthy adult individual to continue the dialogue in a positive way, he should know the content of the message and the appropriate time of the sentence to be said, decide where to say the things said is correct, think how best to say it, explain the events simply in a way that the other person can understand, fluently and There are some points that need attention such as being able to talk with the person by making eye contact, focusing his attention on communication with the person, and noticing whether the messages he gives are received or not. When we look at the definitions, we can think of communication as a phenomenon that is always established by the presence of another person. But it is our very being that creates interaction in the other person. We often claim that we have communication problems. Yes, from time to time the other person may not have received your message. For example; What message did we convey? Could it be that our ’emojis’ got mixed up in the message? Does the other person fully understand what emotion we are in? Have we been able to convey our thought in a coherent manner? Did we make inverted sentences? Where and in what tone did we make the emphasis? As a matter of fact, in order to answer these questions, we need to answer the following question; How much do we communicate with ourselves?

Communication is hearing, being heard.

Communication is listening to yourself first. It is knowing yourself, the material that will form the content of the message. What’s going on inside me? How do I think in this situation? How do I feel? It is to look within yourself. This part is difficult. Constantly asking yourself, “How am I now?” requires asking the question. It is seeing your feelings, listening to what your body is telling you, openly admitting how you are with yourself. We often overlook this in our daily life. Not that we don’t need it! We skip it because we don’t know how to do it. Because that’s what we’ve been taught: “You can’t whine right now!”, “Emotions pass them, we will solve more problems We spend our day consisting of the repetition of acquired phrases such as ”. Having a conversation with yourself is also being able to hear the other person. Hearing yourself as a person also brings hearing the other person. Our needs are always based on the same points. We want love, we want attention to what we say, listen to what we say, we want someone to hear us and understand us. Healthy communication is possible with mutual communication. Communication reminds us of this fact: ‘The human eye sees everything it looks at, except itself! Because he is not able to see himself.’ In fact, communication is seeing yourself in the mirror of the other person. The sentence you say turns into an emotion, a thought, and that mirror also manifests. Thus, we recognize ourselves from our reflection in the mirror. How do I respond to this situation? What shape does my face take? We can answer all these with our interlocutor. Kemal SayarI read a very good sentence in an article of: ‘In order for me to hear you properly, I have to silence me.’ If there is a sentence in our mind without expressing the opinion of the other person during the conversation, this sentence will not be of use to us during communication. if “Me” If you want to silence it, you must hear it first. A mind hungry to be heard has something to talk about. You should listen to what they are talking about and pay attention to it. Thus, you can weed out the prejudices in your own mind without coming to a mutual dialogue. It would be weird to hear someone else while we’re already deaf to ourselves.
