Every communication you make with individuals should be directed at the individuals that are being communicated with. You will notice that problems start to arise if this is not followed, such as in a situation where one person talks about another person when that person is not able to hear it or respond, since they aren’t present.In this case, the value that your comments would have had is negated as the individual was not able to receive them directly. Only negative results can follow because your original message might then get to the orginally intended recipient from the speech/writing of another person, and your message will likely be altered in the process. Even if your message isn’t communicated incorrectly through the third-party individual, your intended recipient will still feel disappointed in you for not being straightforward. They will think of reasons why you were too weak/afraid to let them know directly.
There is a strength that arrives when you stick to this concept. Keeping true to it removes the possibility of ending up in sticky situations where you aren’t sure how your words might be twisted, and also builds up your rapport with those that you deal with. They will then ignore falsities received from others that are meant to negatively distort your messages. This is because your intended recipients will have responded to your directness with a higher level of trust for your statements, leaving no room in their mind for the inconsistencies coming from ill-intentioned individuals.
