Assume-”suppose to be the case, without proof.” That is the definition of assumption in the dictionary, specifically without proof. 

 

Today we look at the breakdown in communication that comes from assuming something about others or something about ourselves. We become so used to daily occurrences and actions that people take in our lives that we often don’t ask why they do them. 

 

Often we assume others will take action or help us without asking if they can/will first, maybe because it's quicker, but oftentimes it stems from a fear that they won’t.
