Getting your point over

OK, here goes...

A big bug bear with me is the frustration I experience at times when trying to explain something, and not being able to communicate effectively.

No matter how hard I try, when I focus on testing understanding, I tend to cause aggravation in the listener, which in turn frustrates me even more.

I try to be relaxed and informal about it, as to be too intense can cause resentment. But on the other hand, treating a serious subject in light vein is probably not appropriate.

Hopefully this blog will expose the difficulties and thereby be part of the solution.
