Studies show that relationship is the no.1 factor which determines the amount happiness and joy we face in life; which shows that having messed up relationships can really be mentally painful irrespective of the success we attain in our career life.
There are plenty of ways to improve yourself at the skill of handling relationships. But here, I'm only going to talk about the 4 ways I feel are the best to improve them.
1. Act according to the other persons needs:
You have to first know the fundamental needs and desires of the other person and then try to build a better relation with him/her by doing those things and empathetically listening to them which will show your deep concern towards them, rather than trying to apply your own methodologies to make them happy or convince them. It is not a quick fix, but a long-term beautiful investment.
2. Make commitments you can keep:
Keeping or breaking promises drastically improves or degrades the quality of our relationships. There's probably not a more massive withdrawal in a relationship than to make a promise and not come through it. Therefore one should be careful when making promises and be aware of as many variables and contingencies possible. But, sometimes, unexpectedly, situations occur where it is no possible to keep up with the promise. In such situations, try your best keep it anyways (as it is a huge investment and is going to benefit massively in the long run of the relationship) or explain the situation thoroughly to the next person and ask to be released from the promise.
3.Clarify your expectations:
Clarification is plays a huge role in communication and undermines so much part of our relationships. Just like the 1st point, if you want the other person to be acting according to your needs make sure they clearly know what your needs and expectations from them are. This strategy can save you from great damage and conflict in your relationship.
4. Showing integrity:
Treat every type of person in one same manner. When you defend or show respect to someone in their absence in front of the third party it shows that you posses the quality of trustworthiness to those who are present. It makes it easier for people to rely and trust you. To be trusted is greater than to be loved. How you treat one defines how you treat the other 99.
That's all for this post and I hope you got some great key insights that you can apply right away to improve your relational life. Have a great day ahead!
