Importance Of Positive Intrapersonal Communication

My negative intrapersonal communication affects my judgement of other people, which impacts my interpersonal communication. I feel that sometimes I judge other people based on how they look, and use these judgements to decide if I want to associate with them. Often I avoid talking to people based on how they look because I convince myself that they probably have a certain personality. Lots of times these stereotypical views turn out to be wrong, and I find myself surprised. I need

Explain why effective communication is important in developing positive relationships with children, young people and adults.

Interpersonal Communication is offered defined as communication between fewer people but most often just two people. Interpersonal communication should be classified by what happens during conversation and not on how many people are involved. Learning about elements and guidelines of interpersonal Communication helps to develop life skills needed to be able to communicate well with others.

Personally, I see myself as a kind, patient, loving and caring individual. With this being said, I think that this influences the way I interact with others. In comparison to these characteristics, I believe I am a people-oriented listener as I am comfortable with, and skilled at listening to people’s feelings and emotions (Beebe, 2015). When I compare myself to others, I feel like I can always improve myself. I always look down on myself and feel like the people surrounding me are more superior than I am, and for that I need to improve myself. I need to stop comparing myself to others in order to maintain a healthy self-concept. How I see myself in relation to others influences the way I communicate with

It may be naïve to focus solely on reducing negative self-talk as it is important for a balance of positive and negative thoughts for well-being and your state-of-mind (Schwartz & Garamoni, 1986). As research indicates that negative self-talk is not associated with reduced performance therefore there

After reading this first chapter, I realized how important communication is. I think learning communication in this class will enlarge my personal communication theory that I have learnt in my entire life. At this moment, I am learning about communication everyday through my daily life since I am living and studying abroad. This situation makes me see the basic communication process from outsider’s perspective which helps me see things more clearly. Talking about chapter 1, I personally like the communication process model because it is interesting when I think back to myself when I communicate with people. For example, yesterday I fried spams for my girlfriend and myself for our breakfast. Her spams are really thin while my spams are obviously

Although we use different communication styles every day, someone of us use a few of these styles more than the rest. After, taking the self-assessment styles communication quiz I learned quite a bit about my-self, and how my communication styles identify how you respond to others; and act during a conversation. First, of all it described that I’m very assertive, not only do I look out for my own needs, and wants; but it’s imperative that everyone else’s needs are achieved also. During this style I make it clear and understood that I’m in it for not just my-self but all involved for a win-win solution; to where we all receive credit. In my second highest scoring which was aggressive, it told me that I’m very opinionated and don’t take into

Effective communication is important in developing positive relationships for many reasons. It is essential that communication skills are demonstrated and modeled. Communication needs to be both strong and effective, in order to benefit and support the individual in question.

NO!” “ Ok, Thank you Ms. Lewis” and I hung up. I am sitting at my desk really analyzing what just happened. Two to three minutes passed by, as I continued to think about the conversation. I started writing down what I wanted to say to Ms. Lewis, so I kind of scripted what I wanted to say. Because, I wanted this conversation to be effective when I speak to Ms. Lewis. Because, she was at Ms. Frank’s desk when she was talking to me, I felt that her response and behavior was very extreme and that she was possibly trying to be entertaining because she had an audience. So I wanted to talk to Ms. Lewis privately to discuss with her how communicating with her was unbearably difficult. (Which those words were a part of my brief script that I

Both My Dad and I are very different people. We have a very complex relationship and our differences make it hard for us to connect. We have vastly different styles of conflict, we do not communicate in the same way. We miscommunicate often which leads to frustration on both of our parts. Not to mention a big conflict in our relationship is that I am older, going to school, and still living at home. There are many outside factors that may contribute to our difficulties. One major one that adds to his frustration is my brother’s handicap which requires him to live at home without a job or a car. I have explored their relationship in other papers that I have done. I realize that this relationship may (and has) made our relationship difficult.

Self-concept is defined as a “subjective description of who you think you are” (Beebe, Beebe, Redmond, & Salem-Wiseman, 2014, p. 28). A few positive ways in which I would describe my self-concept to be are terms such as someone who’s athletic, caring, compassionate, dedicated, disciplined, empathetic, friendly, hardworking, humorous, a perfectionist, reliable, and trusting. As much as I wish I could define my self-concept regarding positive traits only, a few negative traits that define my self-concept include being insecure, shy, fear of failure and rejection, unable to take criticism without it being considered personal, being argumentative at times, being self-deprecating and being overly competitive. I believe the perceptions I have about myself significantly impact how I communicate with others, both positively and negatively. For example, because I consider myself shy, I know I am less expressive and verbal when interacting with others, which could be an issue when it comes to expressing essential opinions and honesty. I also defined myself as being insecure, which also affects communication with others. The reason why this is a concern when communicating with others is that rather than focusing on the conversation, instead, I am concentrating continuously on wondering what the other person is thinking about me as an individual and what judgments they are making at this very moment.

Verderber, K, Verderber, R and Berryman-Fink, C. 2010, stated that interpersonal communication is, “The process through which people create and manage their relationships, exercising mutual responsibility in creating meaning.” (Pg. 5) To be an effective communicator, it is vital that the person possesses and practices effective interpersonal/communicational skills. Over this semester, important interpersonal skills have been developed through a series of six workshops and assessed in two pieces of assessment. First position, second position and third position skills were performed. This reflective essay provides a critical analysis of my interpersonal skills developmental process of the three skills listed above; including my strengths, weakness and improvements.

"The most basic of all human needs is the need to understand and be understood,” said Ralph Nichols and this thought is agreeable as the interpersonal skills are the skills people use throughout their life to interact with individuals or group of people in the society.

In the following answer, I will be addressing how we can be communicating in ways to enhance our quality of being human with others and in turn, hopefully allow other human beings to enhance their interaction with their world as well.
