The issue of miscommunication is serious. It's a danger of our own making. It starts one second after the first contact is made with another person, and concludes with an incredible explosion...
Our biggest mistake is almost always believing that there is complete alignment in expectations from both sides. We don't try to read the thoughts of our partner to figure out his expectations. There is however one thing that we nearly always can agree on: he does not miss the chance ....to expand the expectations gap. There is no one to tell us about the imminent clash.
There are many causes of miscommunications and they are mostly caused by our personalities. Square personalities are more likely miscommunicate frequently with liberal personalities. People who are aggressive may struggle to align their expectations with passive people. This is easy to recognize - everyone knows squared from liberal and passive from aggressive.
However, they might not be aware that they're different. It's possible that there is a personality gap, which we do not know about. Nobody has ever found it or been warned of or studied it. !
Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to a brand new type of personality that is shared by all of us: the FULL CIRCLE versus the HALF CIRCLE types! !
Note - This is a guide to behavior. When you read the analysis below, try to identify the personality that best describes you. Also, try to determine who your partner is in life. If you realize that you're distinct personalities - just like Bono sings, "we can be one, but not the same" You should be extremely happy because you may have identified the reason behind many of your differences. If however, you are similar to one another I'm sorry, but I'm not able to help you understand why your relationships look like the same thing...
Now we are...
There are two types of human beings human beings. Some of us are the "full-circle" types who are self-contained and is completely comfortable alone. He's in need of a partner. Absolutely! It's all true ... However, until he's found his dream partner, he can live without one. Once he's discovered one, he'd like to continue living his life, shoulder to shoulder with his hopefully complete circle of a partner.

The other human side is made up of "half-a-circle" kinds - (no this isn't full circles that got damaged in the course of the delivery) (see below) ... It's true they are in need of a partner and yes, they need to find a partner very badly, and yes, they're in constant and almost religious search for a partner... and yes it's as important for national security that they find their perfect partner since they can't survive without one. They'll never let go of the idea once they have found their miserable companion. To create a happy circle, they be able to almost join the victim... however, don't let them do this thing of living side-by-side! The Halves aren't content with anything less than staring at one another from a distance for the rest. Only intimacy can fulfill their desire to be connected to one another and create one whole.
An interesting observation between the two types is the decision to let go of the person you are with. The whole circle is likely to get rid of a partner who is losing their chemistry rapidly. On the other hand half-circles will redefine the concept of chemistry between couples to mean - "I am holding onto this B..ST..RD., until I can replace him with a new upgrade."

Imagine the awe-inspiring dance that takes place in the moment two people, a "half-a-circle" and a "full-circle" are trying to be their partner, without being aware of their different geometries. The Half moves two steps ahead and over the comfortable zone of the Full who find this unexpected invasion of his personal space little too frightening. So he fixes this zone-invasion-problem by making a gentle step backward. The only issue is that he took the Half out of his comfort zone. Once .... The Half is convinced that the Full has made an innocent wrong move and promptly compensates with another step forward. However, the Full becomes angry and takes a bigger step backward.. the Half begins to realize that there is nothing innocent about what's going on this time and his next move is not at all gentle.. the Full.. the Half.. the Half and the Full are pissed of off the other. The Full and the Half are aware of the reason, but they lack proper language. They aren't able to properly express their feelings, so they search for the wrong things. They could have been saved had they known that the one they are seeking is Half, and the other one is full.

Although there isn't a single conclusion, there are several actions that can be taken.
1. Find out who you really are
2. Find out who your partner is

3. Realize that there is a huge difference.
3. Respect the distinction!
Rami Beracha
actually, one conclusion that is true: Live and let live.
