The issue of miscommunication is very significant. It is a minefield that we have created. It begins seconds after our first encounter with someone, and concludes with an amazing explosion…

The biggest mistake we make is that we assume total alignment in each other’s expectations, without ever trying to understand the expectations of our partner. There’s one aspect, however, that we are completely in alignment with our partner on and he doesn’t hesitate to miss an opportunity to expand this expectation gap …. There’s no one to inform us of the imminent confrontation.

There are many potential causes of miscommunications. Many of them stem from personality differences. Squared personalities are more likely than those with liberal personalities to miscommunicate, and aggressive personalities might have trouble in coordinating expectations with passive. This is easy to spot as We all know what the word „squared“ means.

But what if they are completely different? Imagine to yourself that there’s a type of a personality gap which exists, but which is not even noticed by us. It’s never been discovered, reported on, or even investigated by anyone. !

Let me introduce you, gentlemen and ladies, a new type if personality that we share with the FULL-CIRCLE persona versus people who belong to the half circle! !

Note : This is a behavior guidance. After you have read the analysis, try to determine which type of persona best represents your personality. At the same time, try to figure the person who your partner in real life. If you realize that you’re different types – like Bono sings, „we can be one, but not the same“, – you should be very content as you may have discovered the cause of some of your differences. If you’re the same as me, I’m sorry, but I’m not able to help you understand why your relationships are so poor.

So, here we go…

Humans can be classified into two categories. Some people are ‘full-circle’ who are a self-contained person who feels completely at home all by his own. It’s true that he wants to be around someone else, and yes, he’s always in search of one. Absolutely! all true! … BUT, until he has found his dream partner, he will be able to live without one. If he can find the perfect one and has found the right one, he’ll be able to continue the rest of his life with his complete circle partner.

The other human side is made up of „half-a-circle“ types – (no it’s not full circles that got damaged during the birth) (see below) … Yes they require an accomplice and yes, they need an ally desperately, yes, they’re constantly, almost religious, search for a partner… and , yes, it’s on the same scale as matters of national security that they locate their ideal partner as they simply cannot live without one. Once they’ve found the miserable creature, THEY will not give up! They’ll move to physically join the victim in order to create one joyful circle… and do not give them the pleasure of living shoulder to shoulder! The Halves aren’t willing to compromise on anything less than staring at each opposite from a distance of a single pixel for the rest of their lives. Nothing less intimate will give them the desire to connect with the other half and create an entire.

An interesting observation among the kinds is the way they choose to let go of their partner. The full circle is likely to release themselves quickly from an individual he no longer has his chemistry with. The ‘half-a circle’ type will however redefine what it means to have an enmity with their partner. They’ll say they’re holding on to this B..ST..RD until they can replace him with an upgraded version.

Imagine the amazing dance that occurs between the „half-a circle“ and the full circle. So he fixes this zone-invasion-problem by making a gentle step backward. He forced the Half out of his comfortable zone . While the Half thinks that the Full was innocent and made a wrong move, and he kindly compensated by making another step ahead, the Half is more concerned and begins to feel irritated. They know why, but because they don’t have the right terms to explain their confusion and head towards the wrong direction. They could have saved their lives if they knew the difference between Half and Full.
