You are not obliged to defend anybody else’s reputation. You’re not even obliged to defend your own. Just imagine the following scenario.
“I’m disappointed in you.” And what makes you think I care about your opinion of me? It’s a question that will not be answered by anything that makes sense.
The only opinion of you that matters is your own opinion, and that one should be as honest as possible because.
Accepting yourself as you are will set you free.

Emotional people are the poorest communicators on the planet because they have a days, weeks, if not months of bottled-up emotions inside of them, and they’re trying to communicate those emotions in a couple of sentences. What’s worse, they don’t want to reveal the real reason behind their emotional outburst because it makes them look weak or embarrassed, so they start an argument about a completely unrelated event.
The opening paragraph is just the beginning of the breakdown in communication. The perception of words within sentences can be different for everyone. The next barrier is that feelings do not easily translate to words. The male/female divide has to be mentioned as it’s a huge barrier to communication. The next barrier is listening. Emotional people do not listen to reply. They’re waiting for the opportunity to speak if they wait at all.
The above can be applied to every communication between individuals. It doesn’t matter if it’s in work, online, or at home, there’s always going to be barriers to communication. I’ll leave you with one final thought.
In normal everyday conversations, you can say, what exactly do you mean? Or, this is what I thought you said as a way of breaking down the barriers of communication. However, you do not have an everyday conversation with an emotional person.
