Food for Thought Thoughts with Dark Cancer Season 2, Episode 38: You Cannot NOT Communicate: The 5 Principles of Communication

Did you know that you're communicating even when you're silent? In this deep-dive episode of the Essential Skills series, Dark Cancer moves beyond the basics to explore the fundamental principles of interpersonal communication—the unwritten rules that govern every interaction we have.

This episode is a masterclass in understanding the complex, often subconscious, nature of how we connect with others. The host breaks down the core tenets that can make or break our ability to be understood.

This is your guide to the 5 core principles of communication:

1. It's Inescapable: Why you are always communicating, even when you're trying not to.
2. It's Irreversible: The hard truth that once you've said something, you can never truly take it back.
3. It's Complicated: How our preconceived notions and stereotypes can distort our messages before we even speak.
4. It's Contextual: Why the "when" and "where" of a conversation are just as important as the "what."
5. It Has Content & Relational Dimensions: (This is implied throughout the discussion on how messages are perceived).
