Building strong relationships requires using communication skills like being polite, avoiding ambiguities, respecting others' opinions, and finding win-win solutions that take everyone's concerns into account. Mastering communication helps discern which relationships are worth investing in long-term versus those that are better as temporary acquaintances.
