Communication and Mutual Problem Solving

It is often said that people don't remember what you say, but they remember how you make them feel. I think that is key in successful communication. People are far more likely to believe the tone of your voice, rather then the words you say. Something we talked about in class was sarcasm, that is something that I really need to work on. Someone in class made the comment that speaking with sarcasm is intentionally lying. I had never thought about it in that way, and I never mean to come across that way, but as I have paid attention to it I have noticed that maybe what I am saying isn't totally out of line, but it isn't necessary. When there is open communication in the family there is usually little conflict.
