When we decide things, our job in social traffic is to get our considerations across.
Understanding each other’s decisions establishes trust. Bit by bit.
When we don’t understand each other’s decisions, that breaks trust (instant, definitely).
When someone asks you to reconsider or to hear them out, they grant you a second chance. An opportunity to re-establish trust.
We then have the opportunity to explain our decisions in a better way than the first time. We even may reconsider.
When we don’t take that second chance and listen to what the other person is saying, we miss the opportunity to re-establish trust.
Distrust is a destructive vicious circle.
