Failure To Communicate

Blog Challenge "100 posts in 100 days" Post #90

Why is it so hard to communicate clearly? Sometimes I think maybe I'm speaking a different language because I'm sure not successfully getting my point across. Why do we get defensive, deflect, reroute, when someone says something we don't like? 

I hate that I run out of patience and end up apologizing for something that wasn't even the topic of conversation and the actual topic of conversation goes unresolved because the rabbit hole ate it for lunch. 

I honestly don't know what it is about me that brings out the debater in others and usually, I love a good debate but once in a while I just want to believe that there is one person on the planet who gets me.
