Here are concise tips to avoid misunderstandings and unnecessary conflicts in social interactions:Assume positive intent first. Ask clarifying questions instead of assuming. Use “I feel/think…” statements, not “You always/never…”. Listen fully before replying — don’t plan your response while they speak. Keep tone calm and volume moderate. Say “Sorry, I didn’t mean it that way” quickly when needed. Avoid sarcasm, especially in text. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-gen-y-guide/201803/7-ways-avoid-misunderstandings https://www.verywellmind.com/how-to-avoid-misunderstandings-3144969 https://greatergood.berkeley.edu/article/item/how_to_have_better_conversations
