Part 1 Good communication is as stimulating as black coffee and as hard to sleep after Have you ever ended up lying in your bed late after midnight thinking about your last animated discussion with a friend or a colleague? I bet you have, since I was once in your shoes as well as everyone else. So what is a “communication”? How does it affect our lives? They say, people are social species. It means that we cannot survive without a company of our own kind. We have known that for ages, and because of that in many closed organisations, for instance, prisons or mental hospitals they put the most aggressive people into so called solitary confinements - rooms where they have to stay all alone, waiting for the timer to let them free. And despite the fact that there are those who think, that speaking to others is a bad idea (homebirds, introverts or as it is trendy to call them these days - misanthropes); the overwhelming majority would beg to differ. “Leave your computer and go make some friends,” our mommies would say to us at weekends when we were adolescents. The striking and the most logical question “why” had never been answered. However, bearing in mind what media does to us, with their omnipresent articles and videos about some gloomy teenages who commited a cuiside because they had been left behind, our parents’ behaviour actually made sense. Talking helps. That is why we have so many ready-to-help therapists. They will give you a simpering smile and say that it was reasonably prudent to come to them… even if you hadn’t had any psychological issues before visiting them.
