Interpersonal Communication Narrative

Walking into the cafeteria at lunch and sitting in the same booth my friends and I have been sitting in for the past month felt different. The one person who noticed my behavior from my fake laugh, fake smile and tone of voice was Jenavee. Being the good friend she is she didn't bring it up in front of everyone and decided to wait till we were in private to talk which I was grateful for. As soon as the bell rang for the last period I bolted out of class to the bus I just wanted to go home and curl up in a ball and watch That's so Raven. On my way home I started to think about how I shouldn't let one comment affect my future and my dream of who I want to be. As soon as I walked into my house I actually made some food because I was hungry ,pizza …show more content…
I had a mix of emotions of looking at myself which concluded with wow I’m beautiful, wow I need curves, and along with why am I like this. At that exact time Jenavee texted me and we were talking and I knew where this conversation was going I can sense it and of course I was right because she asked what had happened earlier that day. I was completely honest with her telling her what had happened in my AP class and what the girl said to me and then I proceeded to send her the pictures I took. Nothing is better than having someone who cares about you support you so much because as soon as I sent her the pictures she was screenshotting them telling me how beautiful I was and supports my dream saying how I can model and she actually meant it. Her words helped me so much and boosted my self esteem and confidence by a lot and this isn't the first time she has done this she has always been there for me but this was one of the main body issues that I was having and she totally understood it and is still in the process of helping me get through it. Overall I’m not gonna let one negative comment bring me down and my bestie is gonna be right by my side for it all if I ever do feel

    I hate it when I have prepared, a carefully crafted soliloquy, a sentiment of pure splendor, a plethora of plentiful thought, and my script is discard within seconds because the conversation takes a detour. Conversations are inimitable and completely wild. They roam from topic to topic without a glance at the well written thoughts I have so tedious prepare the night before. When I reach a place to interject a bit of my rehearsed dialogue, it comes unnatural and the conversation withers within seconds. This only contributes to the fascination and passion I have for writing.…

    Reading, writing, speaking, and various other forms of communication have been essential to the evolution of human beings. Our species’ dominance today was preconditioned by communication, allowing us to excel in fields such as abstract thought, logic, and rationality. Thousands of years have elapsed since the alphabet, one of our most essential mediums of communication, was invented. This invention altered the methods in which we structure our thoughts and ideas, thus domesticating the human species into the cooperative junction it is today. However, this was only an invention, not a natural occurrence imbedded into the human intellect.…

    In class this past week, we did an activity called the Signals Game, which I had actually done once before in high school. When I did it the first time, I was part of culture B, and I remember that I felt like such an outsider, even though there were other people that were in my culture with me. But this time, when we did it in class, I was part of culture A. For some reason, I found I was much more comfortable being in the group that tried to welcome the others than I was actually being part of “the others.” When I thought back on this, I think this really says something about society as a whole.…

    Talking seriously. I know how to avoid fragments, but I am trying to put on paper my brain--splashing the gray matter on the white sheet. Although it may sound bizarre, my abnormal mind conceived a fragmentary diary as a reflection of the reality of life, and I honestly like the skeleton of the memoir. Indeed, there are oceans of possibilities of improvement, and I want to balance fragments with a nicely written prose.…

Even though it sounds unlikely, this exact scenario happened to me while standing in line at a local Wal-Mart in Tallahassee. While standing with a surprised look on my face, I watched the couple slowly walk up and place their items on the belt to proceed to checkout. Many emotions traveled through my mind as I witnessed the couple cut in front of everyone waiting in line. Initially, I was angry because of the family’s disrespect…

    During this weekend, I can say that I experienced all three levels of communication. It is something that at first, I did not realize that I was being that particular way. During the course of my day, then I would realize. For example, the I-It communication level is something that I experience everyday and I’m sure we all do. When I pick up my coffee, when I buy clothes, and when I walk into a store etc.…

    The relationship I chose to analyze for my interpersonal communication paper was the relationship I had with my ex-girlfriend Laura. We met in high school through mutual friends and we dated throughout my junior and senior years. Communication problems and trust issues eventually were too big of a barrier to knock down and our relationship ended there. The main concepts I chose to analyze about my previous relationship were Personal Language, Nonverbal Communication, Proximity, the Social Penetration Theory, and lastly Relationship Threats. Personal Language shows your true self and is how you express your individuality and it is also more common in a private setting.…

    Interpersonal communication is the process of sending and receiving information between two or more people. It is a person-to-person contact, it includes everyday exchange that may be formal or informal and can take place anywhere by means of words, sounds, facial expression, gestures and postures. Two significant learning points for me during this course was in module 3, using the I-language instead of you-language which gives power over our thoughts, feelings and emotions to others. To take responsibility for your own feelings, rely on I language rather than you language. I language owns thoughts and feelings and does not blame them on others (Wood 125).…

    I took two classes for the summer of 2016, but the Interpersonal Communication class had me worried the most. I had a training with the army, and that required me to absence from school for two weeks. Unlike my other class, I didn’t have a chance to work ahead of the class with the instructor for the two weeks that I would be missing. Therefore, I was worried that I wouldn’t catch up with my classmates and end up failing the class. However, Ms. Anna was generous and extended the assignment due date for me; she even gave me an extra-credit assignment to replace the credits that I missed during my two weeks in training.…
