My day starts off with me
communicating not through words, because I do not really talk with my
roommates, but through my wardrobe. I
like to present myself with dignity in my appearance through actually getting
washed, a shocker for some individuals my age, wearing collared shirt, and
pressed pants because even if others do not notice these things, I do. Along the lines of metaphysical communication
I like to stand/sit up straight, though I am human so slouching occurs from
time to time. Finally, I am easily read
in that I wear my heart on my sleeve, and face for that manner. That is to say I am animated in my emotions
as shown through my face. These two
formats are the best for communicating raw emotion and thus how you want people
to communicate physically with you. This
is to say that if I were to wear a shirt without a collar during the day time
then it would mean I am feeling crappy and might not want to talk, or if latter
in the day that I want to talk more casually.
Next my first physical communication of the day commences a class
discussion. I notice that I speak with
confidence even when I am not completely sure I am correct. It seems that it sounds more accurate when I
speak with confidence even if I am not sure if what I speak is the truth. This is further confirmed later in the day
when I am debating with one of my friends.
Even though I was not 100 percent sure what I was saying was accurate, I
was believable because I sounded confident in my beliefs and was not completely
inept. I also notice that my friends and
I communicate through petty jabs here and there with significant conversations
occasionally. I believe that this
physical face-to-face type communication is best for communicating ideas and
releasing stress for me. As for communication
through technology, I do not really use technology when I period, and
especially not when I am around people, specifically friends. Because of this I, in turn, study how my
friends act while they are using technology, which is something I have done
from time-to-time since some of them are addicted. It seems that I am outside of some loop while
they are talking to each other asking for things on their Facebook games like
Farmville. It definitely isolates me and
it is disheartening to a degree, but thankfully one of my friends is a pure
hearted scholar like me and we engage in discussions about the lecture we just
attended. The rare times when they are
not using technology we can talk, but even then they are usually attached at
the thumbs with their phones. This examination
of how I communicate and how people communicate with me revealed some things
and confirmed others. How I communicate
did not surprise me as I always knew how I communicate and I am proud of it. What bummed me out was how much more isolated
I felt when observing them opposed to how I normally feel even though I was
always aware of the isolation.
