Do I use words the same way my partners do? Do I often find myself in discussions about the meanings of words? If I have a problem with someone's behavior, do I discuss the problem with that person? If my partners have a problem with someone else's behavior, do I encourage them to bring it up with that person? Do I communicate passively or directly? Do I look for hidden meanings in other people's words? Do I bury my real meaning? Do I communicate authentically in ways that make me vulnerable? In what ways do I actively listen to my partners?
