Personally, I think it's a two way street We are each responsible for our own actions If I'm truly listening and I can't understand I should ask more questions The same goes for the person wanting to be heard, if I'm that person, I want to answer all your questions until you get me even if we're never on the same page over the discussion

Too often I think misunderstandings/conflicts happen because each side of a discussion is so fixated on their point of view and how they want to express it that they aren't flexible or patient. Sometimes it takes people a few tries to make their point, or to understand something they haven't considered, or potentially to change their point of view after hearing and considering new input. I think both sides need to be willing to keep trying - without being aggressive or defensive or judgmental, etc. Just stay open and keep communicating....and be willing to keep asking questions, keep trying different ways to express what you think, and keep listening as well.
