THE FIVE LEVELS OF COMMUNICATION
Christian personals service primer cont.
4. Feelings- This is the bonding or breaking level for most relationships. Your deepest emotions are expressed at this level. Once comfortable with each other and you’ve both passed through the door of the third level deeper relations ensue. Here a high level of trust is needed. This is where the really big conflicts are generated.
Trust is accrued over time, built upon confidence and based upon the other’s perceived commitment. The longer the relationship the more confidence, trust, and commitment ties the hearts together.
Continuing with our dailoge:
Susan: I’m sorry I didn’t mean to hurt you’re feelings John. You’re brother is not an idiot, it’s just that I care very deeply about you and your family, and I’d hate to see any of you get hurt.
John: Thank you Susan, I’m glad you care so much. I know you didn’t mean anything bad. I love you.
Susan: I love you too John, very much.
Note that through the conflict they reaffirmed their bond of love. Situations like this will tell others how much we care and thus deepen our commitment, trust, and understanding towards each other.
The fourth level enables a select few to know your heart. This comes with time, and social etiquette demands it, as well as the heart. We as a society don’t hold high regard for those who “wear their hearts on their sleeves.” It is quite uncomfortable to be around someone like that. Unless you’re both drunk at a bar and the alcohol has temporarily removed those inhibitions.
One last note on level four. This is where you will really shine because you will be required to exercise difficult mental and emotional tasks simultaneously. You will be judged on flexibility, diplomacy, self-control, empathy, and understanding.
