Communication

First of all, I want to say that no one is perfect. Everyone has their own weaknesses and flaws—even the moon has spots!

Here, I’m talking about myself. Communication is the first area where I struggle. I’m trying to improve how I converse with others, but I often hear responses like “I don’t get you,” or “What did you say?” When I hear such things, I fall into deep distress. Sometimes I even feel worthless. But after communicating with my loved ones, I bounce back—just like rubber, the harder you hit me, the higher I rise.

You might feel the same way sometimes too, my mava bros. Don’t be sad—look around you. Everyone has faults. If you want to get stronger, the most important thing you can do is accept yourself. Once you accept yourself, you’ve already solved 99% of your problems.

In this world, communication is an evergreen skill. It makes life smoother. If your communication level is ultra instinct, then you can manage anything—even if you lack other skills. Without communication, even if you are an iPhone 100 Ultra Extreme Pro Max in other skills, it’s all just a waste of time.

So, communication is a must-have skill, at least at the basic level.

I’m writing this article with some tips and examples that might help you. I must admit that I was 0.5% out of 100 in communication skills, but I’m slowly understanding my problems and trying to fix them. In most cases, it has worked for me.

Communication skills don’t develop instantly. They require time and training.

Common Problems I Faced in Communication: #

  1. Lack of vocabulary
  2. Low pitch or unclear voice
  3. Lack of consciousness while speaking
  4. Lack of understanding
  5. Lack of confidence
  6. Rushing
  7. Lack of patience
  8. Being boring (optional)

1. Lack of Vocabulary #

I know multiple languages, but I’m not perfect in any. That’s okay. However, you must know at least 1500–3000 words to have a basic conversation. For native-level fluency, you need around 20,000 words.

My issue: I often forget the right words while speaking and only remember them after the conversation is over.

To fix it:

  • Practice speaking daily.
  • Learn and revise vocabulary consistently.
  • Use new words in real conversations.

2. Lack of High-Pitch or Clear Sound #

Your voice should be audible and clear. In my case, when I speak loudly, my pronunciation is fine. But in a low voice, it becomes unclear.

To fix it:

  • Check if your voice is audible to others.
  • If not, increase your pitch slightly.
  • Focus on clarity, not just volume.

3. Lack of Consciousness While Speaking #

This happens when I get emotional during conversations. I often say incomplete sentences.

Example:
I want to say, “Are you going to the party tonight?”
But it comes out like, “Are you party tonight?”

To fix it:

  • Stay calm and focused while speaking.
  • Meditate daily to improve focus and emotional balance.
  • Think before you speak.

4. Lack of Understanding #

Good communication isn’t just about talking—it’s about understanding the other person’s intent.

To fix it:

  • Pay attention to the person’s tone, context, and body language.
  • Ask yourself: Why is this person talking to me?
  • Respond based on their intention, not just their words.

5. Lack of Confidence #

Confidence makes people want to listen to you. If you sound unsure or shy, they may ignore you.

To fix it:

  • Be clear about what you want to say.
  • Prepare before speaking.
  • Fake confidence at first if needed—it becomes real over time.
  • Think positively.

6. Rushing While Speaking #

This is a common problem, especially among our generation. I often try to finish my thoughts too quickly, especially when discussing complex topics.

To fix it:

  • Slow down your speech.
  • Speak one sentence at a time.
  • Keep your message simple—like Steve Jobs.

7. Lack of Patience #

When you talk to an HR or build new relationships, things don’t happen instantly. Patience is key.

To fix it:

  • Don’t expect quick results.
  • Stay calm and consistent.
  • Focus on long-term connections.

8. Being Boring (Optional but useful) #

Even if you’re perfect in all the above, adding charm makes your conversations engaging.

Tips:

  • Add light jokes or relatable quotes.
  • Be expressive and warm.
  • Make your conversation feel personal and genuine.

If I’ve said anything wrong, your suggestions are always welcome. We’re always trying to improve ourselves.
