Myself as a Communication
The way I express myself shows my emotions out on my sleeve. I thought I was always really
privet about my emotions, but the truth is that my emotions show through my facial expressions. With
portraying my emotions so much I must make sure I am a good listener, so others know I am lessoning in
the conversation we are having. When communicating with others I need to work on lessening, I tend to
drift away when in a conversation. I've always been this way which has caused problems for me in an in-
class setting. A communication skill I do have is self-awareness in my communication. This is a skill that
can help me work on my listening when I'm talking with others. Listening is a big part of
communications; everyone wants to be heard and feel wanted especially if they are communicating with
My personality in conversations shows my emotions out in the open. This is a reason why I
prefer being by myself other than being in a social setting. After taking 6 assessment tests I now see that
my emotions can get in the way of my conversations with others but also my emotions help me be there
for others and have great empathy for others. I'm very good at understanding empathy I will always make
sure I am present in conversation if someone needs me emotionally. The assessment I took for the
empathy test I scored a 34 and the test said with the score I got means I have moderately empathic and I'm
able to understand other people’s emotions, but I need to practice wich will improve my communication
skills. I think everyone should practice their conversation skills and always be aware of what you are
communicating to others.
conversation. I have a hard time not thinking about other things or doing other activities when I'm in a
conversation with someone. This is an example of the bad communication I have. I've noticed over the
years that I'm not the best at being an in-class student. When having the option to take classes in a school
setting or online I will always choose online classes. When talking with me you may notice me changing
subjects or doing something else. The score I got on my Listening test told me it is something that should
Self- awareness, self-concept, possible selves, self-image, and self-esteem are all self-concepts
(Edwards, Edwards, Wahl, Myers, 2017, p.39). A communication skill that I'm good at is having self-
awareness, I am also a people pleaser when communicating with others. Having self- awareness is when
you know what is and isn’t appropriate in a social setting when talking with others. I know how to
communicate correctly in particular settings. I know also how to act in social settings that could
potentially put me out of my comfort zone. I believe that if you are self-aware you are more capable of
After taking all 6 assessment tests I have concluded that I prefer being by myself and if I'm in a
social situation I would rather be a people pleaser then having a bad conversation with someone. My
lessoning skills in communications needs to improve so I can better myself and not hurt others when I'm
not actively listening to what they have to say. Being able to be comfortable with having my emotions out
on my shoulder I think shows strength in my communication skills because I can be my true self. When I
was done with the assessment tests, I saw the things that I needed to work on to improve my
My needs, options, views, and concerns are going to be out in the open when I'm in
conversations. If someone was to have a conversation with me, they would like me because I would be
true and concerned with their lives. I would show empathy for people who need it and people would be
able to see that I am focused on them from the emotions I portray on my face. If the conversation is on
something other, then a subject where the person needs consoling, I may have a hard time keeping up in
conversations. The more I work on myself in my communications with others I will better grow as a
person.
