Learn to understand the meaning of mutual understanding

When someone values you they will treat you well. They will try their best to make you comfortable with them. In any relationship, in my opinion, everything must be two-way, such as communication.

If you expect only one party to communicate while the other party just listens without sharing then things will not go well. Being with someone especially if they are with you day by day, there are times when one party is not always strong and the other party has to support them so that they can stay strong in life.

Not all days are good and sometimes days can be so overwhelming with so many problems. There are times when someone wants to lean on someone and they just want to be heard. In my opinion that is called mutual understanding.

Relationships are not just about love but by sharing everything from happiness, sadness, burdens or whatever it makes us know that person better. What’s the point of being with someone when that person never shares anything with you and keeps everything to themself. You don’t seem like an important part to that person because that person doesn’t want to open up to themselves while they want you to open up to them.

There are several people in my life, even though it’s not much but we are always open to each other and even though sometimes we argue because we don’t agree with each other’s perspectives, in the end all of that has brought us closer. Someone told me not to go deep and stay away from their business and I respect that person wants.

If the person expects me to be open and it’s one-sided then don’t expect me to share everything with that person. Actually it would be easy if only both of them would lower their egos and try to understand each other. It’s just that sometimes immaturity, ego and selfishness can make things more difficult.

Based on my experience , it usually happens to those who are alone for too long and rarely open up to others, so that when they find someone who actually makes them comfortable but in the end they themselves have difficulty adjusting to that person.

It is they themselves who ultimately find it difficult to adapt to the new environment and in the end they are the ones who mess everything up. But sometimes they don’t realize that it’s all because they have been independent and have no one to care for them so when someone cares for them, they think that person is interfering too much in their life.

If you like or are comfortable with someone, always remember that they are human too. They also have feelings and they care about you. Although not all but when you know that they are sincere to you, then you should treat them well. Think about their feelings too and don’t just because you’re used to being alone makes you selfish and don’t think about their presence.
