Interpersonal Communications
Introduction
To be able to an effective communicator then one has to avoid miscommunication; this needs people to think clearly, well and a rich way about how they communicate (Stewart, & Thomas, p.53). All aspects of communication such as humans live in worlds of meaning; communication involves choices; communication is affected by culture; it involves negotiating; and conversations influence communication must be incorporated in ensuring efficiency and effectiveness in communication. Different people have varied experiences as well as thinking when it comes to interpersonal communication thus the tendency of each of us to have problems with communications with each other both when we are inhaling and exhaling processes of communication (Stewart, & Thomas, p.54).
This paper tackles the issue of interpersonal communication and tries to establish why one is relatively weak in. Each person has different experience and different thinking, so we could have problems with communication to each other when we are inhaling and exhaling. This paper finds out how I am going to handle this to be an interpersonal communicator and the solution to the problems. In inhaling my weak area is self disclosure and in exhaling the problem identified is empathic and dialogic listening. Generally, there are two types of person when it regards to my interpersonal communication skills. First one is the person, who is connected with me very well and the other is the person, who is hard to communicate with me and often I find that among kindergartners, it is easy for me to make new friends without any constraints.
The Problem and Discussion
My life has been generally different in the young and adult stages. I recognized that my human relations are very different between when I was a child, who go to elementary school, and now as I’m a 26 years old student. When I went elementary school, I made new friends without constraint. Also, introducing was very simple because all we need to do was introducing each one’s name. Since we had been grown up together in the same part of town with similar life environment, so it was hard to find differences among children, so all we need to do was introducing each name, and that’s enough to become friend.
On the other hand, when I became older, and I didn’t change my way to make a friend: for example, introducing my name shortly, but it didn’t work very well as much as when I was a child. This made me feel insufficient in relationships because most relationships were not deep. I also noticed that I have a problem with communication in human relationships. This brings a major question what makes my human relations different during the several years since I was a child?
There are many changes that occur during growth which may result to affecting interpersonal communication among individuals. This creates either a conflict or a barrier in the communication process. For an individual, childhood comes with its innocence where one is not aware of the many occurrences i.e. good or bad in life. This makes the child be able to accept any friendship easily. In addition, they aspire and are always eager to know new things in life; this makes it easier to make friends. On the other hand, at youth stage a person has already known more about him/herself. In essence, he has already developed a taste and preference for everything. This could be a cause for most people accepting friendship easily. In addition, the youth have a fear to associate with people whom they may not know much about. The environment has also changed a lot with the youth already seen many friends and is not lonely as a child. This may make it harder for one to just convince a person with greeting or handshake. It may require subsequent meetings so that they are acquainted with each other before they call themselves friends. Also, they must be able to establish if there is anything common between th...
