As you share, an inability to focus on relational dynamics sometimes results in awkward measures that simply lead to avoidance or one party making certain the other is no longer part of their life experience. And so they aren't. Missed opportunities? A matter of perspective as well, I would guess. <br /><br />Relationships are complex, because personalities are complex in general. Not just mine. (Well, at least that thought provides me a measure of comfort.) I have my issues, just as others have theirs. <br /><br />I guess I will continue to examine the dynamics as they occur. It's just who I am. :)<br /><br />Thanks for posting.Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06152991363724354254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3295255367865723397.post-41736917168778629212011-07-16T11:49:17.674-05:002011-07-16T11:49:17.674-05:00Great post - just came across this.
Joy, Regardin...Great post - just came across this.<br /><br />Joy, Regarding your comment on the employer issue - I think its because people (especially in the west) don't like confrontation. i think this is because relationships and interaction between individuals are seen as "absolute" rather than "relative". <br /><br />What Iam trying to say is that, just because someone has a go at you, does not mean they hate you (they may) but it does not always mean that - they might have got other agendas - like pushing a project faster, high stress levels, etc..<br /><br />I'll leave you to interpret all that. <br /><br />Thanks!<br /><br />JATAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3295255367865723397.post-12328458980458347152010-08-28T18:19:34.353-05:002010-08-28T18:19:34.353-05:00Craig ...

Or, were we attracted to such a place because of who we were created to be? A bit of a chicken or egg issue, huh? I'm just deeply grateful for a life full of people who understand this Socratic dilemma. <br /><br />Thanks for posting!Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06152991363724354254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3295255367865723397.post-54232544070655494802010-08-28T18:05:11.942-05:002010-08-28T18:05:11.942-05:00I really enjoyed this Joy.

I so often think that my burden of self-awareness and -examination would be lighter if I would write as I go. <br /><br />As always thanks for sharing insight into who you (and I) are. <br />Love ya, CCraig Bennettnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3295255367865723397.post-18656105795084617292010-08-28T10:41:40.291-05:002010-08-28T10:41:40.291-05:00Heather, We will need to talk about this sometime....Heather, We will need to talk about this sometime. I'm detecting a change in the corporate culture for communicators. My hypothesis is this: In this economy, some internal communicators are resorting to telling employers what they want hear and leaving it to "outsiders" to take all the message risks. They want someone to blame, rather than collaborating on an internal solution that really deals with the negative occurring within their own organizations. <br /><br />On a professional level, it's the difference between being a rock star as a consultant or an enemy of the mothership. ;-) <br /><br />That's the theory I would examine. It has always been true to a degree, but I think that people's long-term security feels threatened internally sometimes, and so they create an "us v. them" environment. Research shows that mentality thrives during times of economic distress. <br /><br />JoyJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06152991363724354254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3295255367865723397.post-12040134811648513352010-08-28T03:18:35.253-05:002010-08-28T03:18:35.253-05:00Great post,Joy.

If I have a concern, I'll talk to you about. In my professional life, I'm dealing with a changing culture that doesn't value that...and that's who I am, to the core. So now it's an issue of being true to myself or conformity...<br />Your post has given me more to think about. Thanks! <br />HeatherHeatherLilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15994925607089001119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3295255367865723397.post-66520130102023752982010-08-27T21:44:23.002-05:002010-08-27T21:44:23.002-05:00I know!

And all major world religions strive for such - well, they don't use Maslow's term for it - but that doesn't mean it's not the same thing. <br /><br />Fun with Epistemology - wouldn't that be a great course? ;-)Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06152991363724354254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3295255367865723397.post-21697455811959575192010-08-27T21:34:54.985-05:002010-08-27T21:34:54.985-05:00I love the way you examine life and gently nudge o...I love the way you examine life and gently nudge others to think about it, too. But my question is, "Do we have the ability to truly examine ourselves?" I wonder if Maslow's self-actualization exists, and if it does exist, does it suck? Because we are all so flawed (at least I am), I'd rather live in a pre-self-actualized world. Just wondering.<br /><br />PS. It kills me you use epistemology. I'm studying that right now, too!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11178644960972464421noreply@blogger.com
