Your parents didn't do this on purpose but they may have sabotaged your communication style. If you find that you have difficulty communicating or often find yourself at odds with other people, it could be that your childhood sabotaged your communication style. We learn what we live and if you lived in a home with chaos or unhealthy forms of communication, it's likely you adopted those traits and you're still using that framework as an adult. You might not realize it, but these childhood habits are holding you back.

3 ways your childhood may have sabotaged your communication style. In your childhood:

the key people in your life sent mixed messages
you were unable or unwilling to be direct
your opinions or thoughts weren't encouraged or considered

Your childhood has an impact on every aspect of your life, including how you communicate. If your childhood communications weren't healthy, it is showing up in how you relate to and communicate with others. Getting some insight into your childhood can help determine if it influenced your communication style in positive or negative ways. If you discover some gaps, it's a great time to learn some confident communication skills that can overcome your earlier lessons.
