Miscommunication is a serious problem. It’s a hazard we’ve created. It begins seconds after our first contact with someone and culminates in an incredible explosion…

Our biggest mistake is that, without good reason, we almost always assume that we are in complete agreement with the expectations of both sides without even trying to get our partner’s brain to determine what his expectations of us. There is one aspect, however, that we are completely in alignment with our partner on – he also doesn’t miss an opportunity to widen the gap in expectations. …. No one is there to warn us about the coming confrontation.

There are many sources of confusion, and they are usually due to our individual personalities. People with square personalities tend to be more susceptible to miscommunication more than liberal people, while people who are aggressive might have trouble aligning their expectations with those of passive individuals. However, this is not difficult to spot – we recognize squared from liberal and aggressive from passive.

But, what do you think if they’re very different and they don’t recognize that. Imagine if there’s an individual gap. Nobody has ever traced it and warned of it, or investigated it…NOT EVEN FREUD! !

Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to an entirely different kind of personality The FULL and the Half Circle people! !

Note : This analysis is designed to give you guidance on your behavior. As you read this report, you’ll be able identify which personality describes you best. Also, you can try to find your spouse in your life. You may be surprised to find that you have different personalities. As Bono sang, “we are one, but we are not exactly the same.” This is a great sign as it could mean you have discovered the cause of many of your differences. If, however, you are both of the same kind, then I’m sorry that I’m unable to explain the reason why your relationships appear so horrible.

Here we go…

Two kinds of people are human. Some of us are the “full-circle” types which is a person who feels totally natural to be by himself. Yes, he wants to connect with other people and, the truth is, he’s always seeking an individual to share his experiences with. Absolutely! All true! … However, he’ll never be able survive without a suitable partner. He will live his life with the person he is going to marry once he finds one.

The other aspect of humanity is comprised of the “half-a-circle” kinds – (no it’s not full circles that have been damaged in the course of the delivery) – … Yes they are in need of a partner and yes, they need an ally desperately, yes, they are in constant searching, even religious, to find a suitable partner… and yes it’s as important for national security that they locate their ideal partner as they simply cannot live without one. They will not let go after they’ve found their unhappy lover. In order to make one joyful circle, they will almost integrate with the victims… but don’t let them do this bullshit of living side by side! The Halves aren’t content with any less than gazing at one another from zero distance for the rest. Only intimate relationships fulfill their desire to be connected to one another and create one whole.

A fascinating observation between the kinds is the way they choose to leave their partner. The whole circle is likely to get rid of a partner who has lost their connection quickly. The “half-a-circle” type , however, will redefine the meaning of having the same chemistry as their partners. They’ll claim that they are ‘holding on to this B..ST..RD until they are able to replace him with a more effective upgrade.

Imagine the amazing dance between the “half-a circle” and the full circle. So he fixes this zone-invasion-problem by making a gentle step backward. The problem is that he accomplished this by removing the Half of his comfortable zone . While the Half thinks that the Full has made an error that was not his fault and compensated with another step forward the Half becomes annoyed and take a step backwards.. The Full.. Half.. and the Half are both pissed off. They know why, but since they don’t have the correct terminology they can’t adequately explain their madness and turn towards the wrong direction. The victims could have been spared if they had known that the item they’re seeking is Half, and the other is full.
