FMQ 504 I'm Stupid I don't understand - They're stupid they don't understand me

“I’m Stupid — I Don’t Understand / They’re Stupid — They Don’t Understand Me”

Another Five-Minute Quickie for those deeper musings…

Ever thought “they just don’t get me” or “I must be thick because I don’t get them”? Here’s a fresh lens: The meaning of your communication is the response you get — a golden presupposition of NLP.

In this episode, we dive into:

• Why it’s your responsibility to be understood

• How feeling misunderstood (or stupid) is a communication challenge, not a personal flaw

• Simple ways to change the way you speak so your message lands

• A mindset shift to stop blaming others (or yourself) when communication fails

• The power of reflection and “musing over a G&T” to grow your emotional intelligence

If you’ve ever felt unheard or misjudged, this episode is your 10-minute reframe.

And the transcript WARNING if you're a lover of the written word this may make you frustrated, or angry - you have been warned - is it an 'ism

So back with another five minute quickie slowdown, lovely. And it's another presupposition of NLP.

 

A useful assumption. And what's it going to be about? Forget the NLP bit, it's neuro-linguistic programming. I love the funny thing.

 

It's so associated with hypnosis as well and it's what I do. But I'm going to explain this thing. One of these useful assumptions and it is very simple.

 

It says the meaning of the communication is the response you get.
