                  If I did something wrong,

                           Communicate 

             If I hurt your feelings, make me

             aware of it.  If I didn't listen well

             enough, tell me again in a way I'll

              understand.  If I'm insensitive to

              to your needs, to your desires, or

              to your thoughts, tell me so I can

                           consider them.

        

       However, don't ever hold an attitude with me                 because you haven't clearly expressed yourself.

 

                   I'm human, not a mind reader.

@Lindsays Grandma -

Those can be true and I'd like to add another view.

Have the "social skills" and or sensitivity to ask and listen when someone is hurting or down, or troubled.

Give them the opportunity to talk to you, ask, listen.

That goes a world towards healing

many conflicts, and hearts.
