In daily life, most communication is actually a battle of emotions.

Smart people usually don't insist on communication.
Because they know, the biggest obstacle between people is never language, but stance, emotions, and cognition.
Many people think communication is about reasoning, but in reality, most of the time, people only want to hear what they are willing to believe.
You think you're explaining, but the other person feels you're denying them;
You think you're speaking logically, but what they perceive is an emotional win or loss.
True communication is not just about speaking; it's about entering the other person's channel, using their acceptable way, language, and logic to express.
But the problem is, this is very draining.
Some people's emotions are always greater than facts;
Some people's stance always takes precedence over right or wrong;
And some people, from the very beginning, are not here to solve problems, but to prove they are right.
In such cases, the more you explain, the deeper the misunderstanding;
The more you argue, the worse the relationship becomes.
Therefore, mature people gradually reduce ineffective communication.
It's not that they lack the desire to express, but they finally understand:
Not everyone is worth explaining to, and not all relationships need to be understood.
The most comfortable state between people is not "I finally convinced you," but "I know we are different, but I no longer exhaust myself."
Many times, shutting up is not giving up, but a form of filtering.
Filtering relationships, filtering energy, and also filtering those who truly resonate.
Ultimately, there are only a few purposes for speaking:
To make others comfortable, to advance things, and to benefit oneself.
Apart from that, most arguments are just emotional internal conflicts.
