The strengths and challenges in communicating

Communication plays a big role in our daily lives. Not only that, communication can also come in a variety of types such as oral communication, interpersonal communication and also written communication. From the different communication interactions we engage in daily, we can conclude that communication can be as simple as nodding to a friend when passing each other to as difficult as constructing a persuasive speech. Thus, knowing when to use a certain type of communication is critical as different types brings different consequences.

Everyone is not perfect. Different people have different strengths and weaknesses in everything we do in life. As for communication wise, it is not easy to master all the different types of communications. In my opinion, I do feel that one’s personality affects the way they behave or communicate. For example, one advantage or strength of an extrovert when it comes to communication is their ability to adore and interact with the crowd, making them feel appreciated. Coming from an outgoing extrovert, I tend to be very sociable which makes it very easy for me to get comfortable with communications. I feel that my past experience as an outdoor instructor has helped me a lot in building my up self-confidence. Being exposed to a big group of students and interacting fluently, clearly and confidently have become very usual for me.

However, being an extrovert does have its challenges such as my listening skills. From my personality, being silent has never been in my dictionary. The craving for attention makes it hard for us extroverts to really be silent and listen as we tend to talk especially when we are surrounded by our peers.
