I was browse reading this really massive book on Psychology, and there was this one page on 'Communication Patterns', especially so the double bind, that caught my attention.
Click for easier readability.
The double bind is the bane of many a relationship. We often hear "I've said what I had to say, it's up to you to understand" or "If you don't already get me, you won't". Evidently not on the same page. Evidence of a gap in communication.
A factor that we paradoxically sometimes miss is that communication or expression, is meant for the other, for the other to understand. Purpose is for the other to hear what you are expressing, and not just for you to express.

Clear communication in terms of conveying and listening, would be a) the ability to express such that the other understands your thoughts or feelings and b) the ability to listen such that you understand the others thoughts or feelings without getting caught in your own filters. Yes, it is a function of effort, patience and love.
Aspirational and worthwhile.
