Relationships can be extremely confusing. Because they are interlinked with our feelings and emotions. And we know how misleading feelings and emotions can be . It is no surprise that emotional involvement is the biggest obstacle to objectivity. Think back to the most recent occasion when you were involved in an emotional argument.
Emotions muddy the water - and mud seriously reduces visibility.
Our emotions confuse us and prevent us from seeing the facts as they really are. Test it out in any argument. They seem determined to play tricks on us and make us behave in strange ways. They can even make us give out the wrong signals so that we end up sending messages that conflict with what we really want. Our tangled messages confuse our lines of communication.
