My Communication Style

I was so nervous to have people evaluate me. The people I chose were my sister and my husband. I do understand that this is very necessary for me to see how people see and understand me. Once I got over the initial shock and uncomfortably I just accepted it. Finally, when I went through the information, it wasn’t so bad. My husband is the person I am with the most. He sees me on a daily basis, through good and bad. However, my sister knew of me in my less popular days of my past and some days in my present, however she knows my character overall. I am her older sister by quite a few years so I want to lead by example for her.

            Based on the information, in the area of communication anxiety, both my sister and husband rated me low. I gave myself a higher rating but only to the next level which is mild. This tells me that others think I have less communication anxiety than I think of myself. This gives me confidence though.

            Finally, for listening, we all agreed that I am a people oriented person. I even knew this, so this was not surprising to me. I want others to be comfortable. The description is true of my character too. I definitely trust people more than I should. I leave myself open to get hurt, but I can promise you it only happens once.

        Both of these have taught me to incorporate them in my professional and personal life. I see that I use them, great things will come when it comes to communication. I need that help, honestly. Communication is so important in both areas of life.

            This week, I remembered that our appearance tells others a lot about ourselves. We know that but this week I learned really what they could be saying and why. I found it interesting and gave me lessons for the future and life. I will definitely be sharing this with others to include my children.
