It's a big problem when people misunderstand. It's a minefield that we've have created. It starts one second after the first contact is made with a person and ends with an incredible explosion...
Our biggest mistake is almost always believing that there is complete alignment in expectations on both sides. We don't want to read our partner's thoughts to find out what his expectations are. There is however one thing that we almost always agree on: he doesn't ignore an opportunity ....to expand the expectations gap There's no one to warn us about the upcoming clash.

There are many reasons for miscommunications, and most of them have to do with our personality. People with square personalities are more likely to miscommunicate than liberal individuals, and people who are aggressive might have trouble aligning their expectations with those of passive personalities. But this is easy to identify - we all know squared from liberal, and aggressive from passive.

But, they may not even realize they're different. Think about if there is a gap in personality. It's not something anybody has researched or even identified. !
Let me introduce you ladies and gentlemen to the new type of personality that we all have: the FULL CIRCLE personalities versus those of the HALF-CIRCLE personalities. !
Note - This is a guide to behavior. If you go through the following analysis, try to identify which type of personality best describes you. Also, try to identify your partner in your life. If you find out that you belong to two distinct types, like Bono declares "we're one , but we're not the same" If you do, then you ought to feel happy. It is possible that you have discovered the root-cause of some of the differences in your life! If however, you're identical in your appearance I'm sorry to say that I'm not able to explain the reason why your relationships appear so awful.

And here we go...
Humans are divided into two distinct groups. There are two kinds of human beings one of which is the "full circle" kind, who is completely self-contained and is completely comfortable being by themselves. Yes, he needs to be with someone, and yes, he's always seeking one. Absolutely! Absolutely! ... However, he cannot survive without his dream companion until he can find one. He will live his life with his new partner once he finds one.

The "half a circle" individuals on the opposite side have to find a companion. Once they've found the miserable animal, they will not give up! They'll attempt to live with their victim as if were one of them and not give up on the concept of living together. The Halves aren't going to compromise their affection for one another. They will look at each other in the same way from the distance for the remainder of the time. Their desire to become one with their other half and form a unit will only be satisfied by something less intimate.
The choice to let go is an everyday occurrence. The complete circle will usually be quick to let go of the person they've lost their chemistry. Half-circles, however redefine what having mutual in chemistry with their partners is referring to - 'I'm keeping this B..ST..RD until I am able to safely replace them with a suitable upgrade'.

Imagine the incredible dance between a "half-a circle" and the full circle. So he fixes this zone-invasion-problem by making a gentle step backward. The issue is that he did this by forcing the Half out of his comfort zone . While the Half believes that the Full made an error of his own and then responded with a step forward the Half starts to get irritated and takes another step backward.. The Half.. Half.. and the Half are both pissed off. They can understand why, but since they don't know the proper terminology they can't adequately explain their madness and turn towards the wrong direction. They could have saved their lives knowing that one is Half and the other is Full.
