When you're constantly instructed to focus on YOUR grades, YOUR studies, YOUR family, etc. and learning how to communicate with other people (as a structured skill) is not valued or even understood. This creates gaps in our ability to navigate Western society. Janet and Brian talk about the idea of selfish communication in this episode where they address some of the recent commentary about how it is that communication is perceived by the communicator. Touching on how it applies when you've grown up in a hierarchical environment where it is the responsibility of the person on the lower end of the hierarchy to understand what the person on the higher end is communicating as opposed to the other way around.   In this episode, you will hear about selfish communication as it's seemingly defined by others, discussion around the difficulties around communication for Korean-Americans (Asian-Americans/Asians/Immigrants), enhancing active listening skills, and a Reddit question about what to do after realizing you've been communicating in a selfish manner.   Reddit Topic Link: https://www.reddit.com/r/relationship_advice/comments/jz0df8/ive_realised_that_im_a_selfish_communicator_and_i/   Check out the K-Town Rumble Website: https://www.ktownrumble.com/   Follow us on social media: https://www.instagram.com/ktownrumble/ https://www.instagram.com/therealjanetlee/ https://www.instagram.com/thisisbrianlee/   Articles Referenced in Episode:   Active Listening Skills: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/in-it-together/202006/active-listening-skills
