When people can’t hear you #65 Daily Dose of Dawn at dawn (people don’t understand)
This video is about how to communicate effectively and even more importantly, how to be okay inside of yourself when effective communication just isn't enough.
I'm an exercise in contrasts, a true contrarian. What does that look like in real life? I'm smart, but also a ding-dong. I'm graceful, but also clumsy. I'm healthy, but also not.
Being so neurospicy, I do things differently than most people. The way I think, spend my time. I process things differently both in what I consume with my mind and my mouth.
I've been on this path of trying to feel better for 14 years. I'm the poster child for, hey, have you tried?
Often people with an issue they're intimately acquainted with, like my narcolepsy or your panic attacks, we know what to do. We've tried the things, found what worked, and are managing.
People just want to help. That's why they give you their suggestions. And learning how to communicate effectively includes acknowledging that. And also holding a hard line on what you know is true for you.
What does that look like in real life? Oh, hey, thanks for the advice. I understand that helps you and I'm really glad you found something that works for you. Here's what I found helps me best and if you want to support me you can do these things to help me through it faster, better, easier, whatever it is.
People who really care about you will say things like, "Oh, hey, so what do I need to know about your narcolepsy in case something happens and how I can help you?" Like asking that question of someone before you experience it is very, very thoughtful and um being able to communicate effectively what to do, what it looks like is also very helpful.
It's your job to advocate for you and it's your job to not be bothered by people who will never be able to understand because they're not you.
