Communication issues are a major issue. I would dare say that it's kind of a minefield that is our own creation .. It starts just a few seconds after contact, and culminates in an amazing explosion...

Our biggest error is always taking for granted that there is a complete alignment of expectations on both sides. We don't try to read the thoughts of our partner to figure the expectations he has. There is however one thing that we almost always are in agreement on: he won't miss an opportunity ....to increase the expectations gap There's no one out there to alert us of the imminent conflict.
There are many possible sources of miscommunications. The majority of them are caused by the differences in our personalities. People with square personalities are more likely to not to communicate well with liberal people. People who are aggressive may have difficulty aligning expectations with passive individuals. This is easy to recognize - everyone knows the difference between the liberal, and passive from the aggressive.
However, what is the likelihood that they're so different and they don't realize that. It is possible that there exists a personality gap, which we do not know about. It is not something that any person has ever investigated or even discovered. !

I'd like to introduce you, ladies and gentlemen, to a new type personality we all have the FULL CIRCLE characters in contrast to the half-circular individuals. !
Note: A behavior guideline when reading the next analysis, look for which personality describe you best and at the same time look for out which one of your friends is. If you discover you are different types - like Bono says, "we can be one, but not the same" If you do, then you ought to be very happy as you may have identified the root-cause behind many of your differences. If you're of the opposite kind, I'm sorry I can help you comprehend the reasons why your relationships look like a mess.
And here we go...
Humans are divided into two groups. There are those who are "full-circle', which is a self-contained individual who feels perfectly at home by him. He does want to be a part of a group and, sure, he's always looking for an individual to share his experiences with. Absolutely! All true ... But, he can survive without a dream partner until he does. He will continue living his life with his new partner once the time comes to find one.
Half-circle people constitute the other half of the human race. Once they have found the miserable creature and they are unable to let go! They will move to almost physically join their victim in order to create one happy circle... and do not allow them to experience the dreadful reality of living shoulder-to-shoulder! The Halves will not accept anything less than staring at each other from a distance of zero distance. It's impossible to make them feel more connected than that.
Interesting observation between these two types: the choice to let a relationship go. The entire circle will undoubtedly be able to let go of a person who has lost their connection quickly. Half-circles, on the other hand will redefine the meaning of having chemistry mutually with their partners' to be - 'im keeping this B..ST..RD, , until I am able to replace him with an appropriate upgrade'.
Imagine to yourself the unbelievable dance happening in the moment two "half-a-circle" and the "full-circle" are trying to be his partner, not being aware of their different geometries: the Half joyfully moves two steps ahead far beyond the comfort zone of the Full who find this unexpected invasion into his own personal space a little too frightening. So he fixes this zone-invasion-problem by making a gentle step backward. He pushed the Half out of his comfort zone . While the Half thinks that the Full made a wrong move, and he graciously compensated by taking another step ahead, the Half is more worried and starts to feel angry. Both understand why, but aren't using the correct terms. They can't properly explain their anguish so they look for the wrong things. The victims could have been spared by knowing that the answer they're looking for is Half and the other is full.
