The Goal of a Conversation | The Psychology Podcast #shorts

the goal of a conversation is to understand what the other person is trying to tell you and to speak in such a way that they can understand you and once we establish that as our goal it changes a lot of those things you were just talking about right because I don't know if you need to be more open-minded or if you need to but but if I come and I say like look my my goal in this conversation the way I'm going to evaluate if this is a success or not is is to understand what you're trying to tell me then by virtue of that I'm going to adopt some of your lens I'm going to at least see the world through your lens that doesn't mean that I agree with your lens and it doesn't mean that I'm going to walk away and we're going to we're going to found common ground but as long as I understand what you're how you see the world and I get you to understand how I see the world then that conversation is a success [Music]
