What I found interesting in this chapter was communication and friendship. Interpersonal communication needs to be used when having good communication between friendships and making sure the communication level with listening and all that is good. Friends need to be open minded, and understanding. They also need to use verbal and nonverbal communication effectively to be a great friend. When you discuss your emotions and resolve conflicts they make friendship last longer instead of holding grudges and what not. People should engage in dual perspective in friendships. This way it will help us understand what our friends are feeling and thinking and helps accept those thoughts and emotions. Honesty is a key factor in friendships and communication. To have a successful friendship people have to be open and not hide their true feelings and emotions. It is really important in friendship when friends don't easily get mad off the little bickering and what not because that tends to make friendships rocky. Everyone just needs to not take everything so seriously and get mad over the little things because people aren't going to want to be your friend later and then you would be isolated and sad.... :/
I also found communication and friendship very interesting in this chapter. I feel that without communication, nobody can have an actual relationship with anyone, whether it is with a friend, partner, or family member. I really like when you say that, “Friends need to be open minded, and understanding.” I believe that these, along with different factors, are what make a friend, a best friend. Friends have to be willing to acknowledge different opinions, ideas, advice, critiques, etc. and they must be able to understand someone else views and beliefs. Friends should also be supportive with their friends, and be able to understand their issues and give them advice that will actually benefit them in a positive way. Great post, I really enjoyed everything you said.
ReplyDeleteI, at the same time, find communication and friendship very interesting. I believe that it goes hand in hand with any kind of relationship. In order to know and understanding someone else better, there has to be some sort of communication whether it is verbal or nonverbal, it is still a type of communicating and as long as you can express yourself. Besides the factors of a friend being understanding and open minded, I think another important factor for a friend is being supportive. Having an extra support always gives you an extra boost in life! I really enjoyed your post!
