Bridging the communication gap between men and women
You’ve probably been there before. You sit down for a latte with your best friend and immediately her eyes start to swell with tears as she blurts out “I don’t know why, but he just won’t open up to me!” Or you and your best bud meet up at a local shop and he greets you with “Man, my girl just talked my ear off. I need a drink!” Or perhaps you were on the other end of the conversation, not understanding why you and your relationship partner were having communication problems. Men and women usually communicate and respond very differently during conversations with each other. Because men and women interact and interpret differently, conflicts or misunderstandings can, and often do, arise. A man and woman can walk away from a conversation having gotten two totally different perspectives on how the talk went and its resolution. These different perspectives can cause dissatisfaction in one or both partners and can lead to misinterpretation, anger, or resentfulness if not properly understood and recognized. To better understand why couples often feel that their partner doesn’t understand them, it is important to look at some of the fundamental communication differences between men and women. Keep in mind that, while psychologists have discovered these differences through clinical research, they are still generalizations. Just because most men and women communicate this way, doesn’t mean that all do or that you and your partner do. But, understanding these differences can help you determine your own communication differences and get you back on the fast track toward reconnecting with your partner.
I am a Assistant Medical Officer registered with the Ministry of Health, Malaysia. I was graduated from the Medical Assistant College with Diploma in Medical Assistant in 1995. My career was started in 1995 where I have been attached to Emergency and Trauma Department of Tengku Ampuan Afzan Hospital, Kuantan. Later, I enrolled in an advanced emergency medical course and was honored with a Post Basic Emergency Certificate in 2001.
I have 14 years of working experiences in every aspect of medical service and public health service. I was first Assistant Medical Officer registered in Network of Clinical Research Centre, Ministry of Health, Malaysia, having Good Clinical Practice (GCP) certificate and posted at Tengku Ampuan Afzan Hospital, Kuantan in 2003. All my hard work after all these years was rewarded in 2004 when I was accorded with the Excellence Service Award. In 2005, I was promoted to be a Senior Assistant Medical Officer and was transferred to the Emergency and Trauma Department of Serdang Hospital for two years. Currently, I am working at Pokok Assam Health Clinic, Taiping Perak.
