Min just told me about her reflective journal today. That's one interesting fact I find about RP. Their daily journals are pretty meaningful to write about.
"Think about your own experiences, strengths and weaknesses as a communicator. How confident are you about communicating without words, and observing the body language and gestures of others?"
Everyone has different ways and means of expressing themselves. It's like a set of fingerprints, they all look the same but really ain't similar. The above-mentioned means are just some of the many ways we could communicate physically. We could express ourselves with written works or music too. Some people could easily reveal their thoughts and emotions through simple body language like shifting of feet, standing, sitting/walking posture, facial expressions or even the words we choose to use when we feel happy or upset.
I guess one of those times I myself get conscious about how I move, would be during job interviews. Concious about where I placed my hands, the posture I sat in and the words I chose to gain impressions.
Another of those self-concious periods would, unfortunately, be when someone we fancy is around. I mean, who isn't right? When she/he's near by, you want to be at your best. Even when she/he's just on the phone, your tone and pitch will be different.
I hate to admit, but there are times I feel down and cannot bring myself to say anything. Not because I don't trust my friends, but I don't trust my thoughts and emotions. There are many a times I don't even know if I'm right feeling what I'm feeling. I can be feeling mixed up all at the same time.
Some people easily reveal their feelings, but not all. And when it comes to times when I have no idea what my friends are thinking, or they have no plans of letting you know, I try to keep my distance. I guess when you are ready to share, you will. I'll always be there, to share the joy or the sorrow. And I know (REALLY, I do!) that when I need someone to be there, these friends will be around for me.
