Implying And Making Implicit Agreements Can Be A Bad Idea
It is not a good idea to communicate in half. Unfortunately, there are several social and cultural mechanisms that prompt us to send incomplete messages, such as implicit agreements or implied sentences. The word and the way it is used are subject to regulation by the company. Sometimes good manners are invoked, other expressions of daily use.
From time to time it can happen that people do not know what or how to communicate a concept for the simple reason that they are not clear in their thinking. These are cases in which internal communication is non-existent and this turns into difficulty in understanding when interacting with others.
Likewise, power relations influence these unfortunate equations. There are supposed to be two types of people: those to whom it is possible to tell everything and those with whom it is best to avoid exposure. Almost all the powers in the world support their right to demand silence. And silence. Sometimes everything, sometimes part of the communication. All of this just creates misunderstanding and confusion, so it’s not a good idea at all.
Implying, a bad idea
Insinuations are those acts of communication which are not direct but which, despite this, assume sufficient clarity for one or both parties and, therefore, no further explanations are necessary. Like when someone says “They are knocking on the door”. Of course, you’ve heard it and you know it. The message between the lines is “Go to open”, but it is meant by the indirect sentence.
Even in everyday actions, implied phrases can turn into misunderstandings. Continuing with the previous example, “they are knocking on the door” can also be understood in other ways, depending on the context and the situation.
One of the meanings can be, for example, “It is time to stop talking about this topic, because someone has arrived” or it can mean “The person we were waiting for has arrived” or “Attention, no one should have knocked on the door, but someone is doing it. Something is happening ”.
The interlocutors should be in tune to interpret exactly what the other wants to say when pronouncing these imprecise sentences which in his opinion are obvious. All this would be anecdotal, were it not for the fact that this communicative formula is also used in complex situations.
This is a nefarious idea in the world of requests and desires. It happens often. We would like the other person to do something for us, but you don’t tell them. We assume that the other must know. “How can you not understand that I need or desire this or that?” We say to ourselves. The downside is that others are not always able to understand and know our circumstances in order to intuit our thoughts. And here comes the conflict.
Implicit agreements, another bad idea
An agreement is essentially a pact between two or more individuals. Of course we also make deals with ourselves, however we focus on social agreements. In an agreement, each party undertakes to act in a certain way. It is the result of the recognition of all the participants and leads to the fulfillment of a common goal.
