Assumptions aren’t the truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But we rely on them all the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most normal, everyday communication is built on assumptions whether verbal or nonverbal, electronic or live. Assumptions carry our communications and make them quicker and usually more efficient. When a friend sends a text that reads: “Thanks for being a good fiend!” You don\u2019t pause to ask for clarification. (Well, you might.) You assume that she meant to write: \u201cThanks for being a good friend!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While autocorrect mistakes and typos can be amusing and easily deciphered, the best rule to communicate by is never assume anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Assumptions aren\u2019t the truth. They are communication devices that can only be totally relied upon when two people share a brain. (Which is never.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The truth is the truth is the truth. Don\u2019t be afraid to mask<\/s> unmask<\/s> ask for it. Knowing the truth is much better than being wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
