person struggles in communication
When having discussions about communications or even about
giving presentations people usually tend to say I am either
a decent or really good communicator. What these people don’t really know is
that I do have struggles when I communicate. When I communicate with other
people my problem is that I usually let my emotions get the best of me when
certain topics or situations come up in a conversation. When it comes to
presentations my struggle is that I don’t show any signs of nervousness. But, I
along with people who really know me can tell when I am nervous. It shows because when
I get nervous in presentations I will talk very fast. Sometimes, I will tend to forget to talk
about things that need to be said in my presentation or just rush through the
presentation and my audience wouldn’t understand or get what I was attempting
to send. I hope that through taking a course like in a field like
communications will help me address such struggles with learning about all the
different styles of communications. I would also get the opportunity to learn
what kind of communicator I am and learn what I would need to do to overcome
the struggles that I have as well learn about what I need to do to help me
become a better communicator in this field.

Other people have also expressed nervousness and an abundance of emotion when public speaking, presenting or even just conversing. I would encourage you to take 140 (Argumentation and Debate). This class helped me to be able to organize my arguments to get my point across, while keenly listening to the other person. It also gave me the confidence I needed for presentations, because now I approach speaking in front of people with the structure of a debate. Plus, it forces you to practice speaking in front of people without being in front of a classroom all alone.
ReplyDeleteI also let my emotions get the best of me at times while communicating. I try not to take things personal at times but its hard when someone gives you an aggresive vibe when speaking to you. I guess its a normal thing for people to go through, Ive gotten better with it over the years. I like how you brought up acting like you werent nervous then showing your nrevousness throughout presenations because I also do that as well.
ReplyDeleteI really like your post because I feel the same way about the things you said. I also have strong feelings for certain subjects and Im willing to defend them as much as I can. The part about showing nerves I think applies to most people in communications classes, thats why were taking the classes though; to get over certain fears. Overall, good job though
ReplyDeleteVery insightful! great post! I think we all let our emotions get the best of us sometimes. Especially when the topic is close to our hearts. I hope through communication studies you will learn how to become a better public speaker and become more comfortable as well! good luck!
