Making assumptions in relationships leads to a lot of fights, a lot of difficulties, a lot of misunderstandings with people we supposedly love.
In any kind of relationship we can make the assumption that others know what we think, and we don’t have to say what we want.
They are going to do what we want because they know us so well.
If they don’t do what we want, what we assume they should do, we feel hurt and think, “How could you do that? You should know.”
Again, we make the assumption that the other person knows what we want.
A whole drama is created because we make this assumption and then put more assumptions on top of it. It is very interesting how the human mind works.
We have the need to justify everything, to explain and understand everything, in order to feel safe.
We have millions of questions that need answers because there are so many things that the reasoning mind cannot explain.
It is not important if the answer is correct; just the answer itself makes us feel safe.
This is why we make assumptions. If others tell us something, we make assumptions,
and if they don’t tell us something we make assumptions to fulfill our need to know and to replace the need to communicate.
Even if we hear something and we don’t understand, we make assumptions about what it means and then believe the assumptions.
