Personal Narrative-Lack Of Communication

Improved Essays
A question I have really been asking myself recently, is why?

Why is this all happening, why is nothing I say getting through to you, why won 't you talk to me, why will you not try to communicate, why, why, why...

And it really frustrates me when the "why 's" of life cannot be answered for me. The past few months I have really been working on my communication skills. A lot of things have gone terribly wrong in my life due to lack of communication. So when I find myself pouring my heart and soul into every question someone asks me, it’s very frustrating to me to get a simple, "I don 't know," or even worse, "idk," in response. This past weekend I was taught to be open to feedback from others, but what if others are not open to giving you

I think that you should always follow your heart because sometimes your mind is an idiotic asshole. Your heart is genuine. You 're heart knows what’s good for it, so follow your heart.

Your head is important as well, for remembering. You 'll never learn if you never make mistakes. So don 't forget that completely, but damn, if you really care for someone, fucking be with them. Don 't let some feeling of loneliness lead you to someone who knows nothing about you. Don 't change yourself for someone because you don 't want to be alone. It literally kills me.

So what do you do when you best still isn’t good enough? Keep trying...? Ha. I sure as hell have to keep trying. Like I said, never give up on something you can 't go a day without thinking about. If you still think of them, you still care. So I don 't think that two people should dismiss the way that they feel just because of the

Forgive but never forget. Those awful memories are what make for a better, stronger relationship, with hopefully better communication. So here is what I will say. Give me another chance because I need to prove you wrong. I don 't screw up a great opportunity twice, and often times I have to be alone to figure out what is truly best for me. I 've had a lot of help in making this decision, and if I were going to leave again, I would not be trying so damn hard. Don 't give up all of our great memories for some girl that makes you feel funny... Cuz I can do all of that and more. I can be the best thing to ever happen to you, and you know it. So give me a chance, and let’s grow together. Don 't dismiss all of those feelings that you get when you reread our old late night conversations on your iPad, or the love letters I wrote you so many times, the long texts that you read again and again... And don 't dismiss all the damn effort I have put into showing you all of those over the past couple of months. You know I am not one to talk about my emotions, so take that into consideration. Talk to me about it when you are ready today. Don 't dismiss the way we both feel because of one stupid

    I never intended to be an illegal smuggler. Seriously. But when four-year-old me found out that preschool had "naptimes" (in which apparently nobody napped, making it a waste of time to me), I decided to take matters into my own hands, with drastic measures. The next day, my top-secret contraband came in with me, in the form of a book. At 1:30, while everyone else did whatever preschoolers do during naptime, the book snuck out of its carefully concealed hiding place and I disappeared into its pages.…

    During this weekend, I can say that I experienced all three levels of communication. It is something that at first, I did not realize that I was being that particular way. During the course of my day, then I would realize. For example, the I-It communication level is something that I experience everyday and I’m sure we all do. When I pick up my coffee, when I buy clothes, and when I walk into a store etc.…

No matter how much it was apparent to the reader that everything he was doing was wrong and could be contributed to the other characters of the story you can't just pawn blame off on other people for your actions. George wilson killed Gatsby.…

    It is the morning of July 4th, 2008: I groan as my mother gently whispers, “teneshi yene mar (Get up honey)”. Struggling I open my eyes and notice the trembling cabin, I turn to my mother with a look of concern and she reaches out her hand and squeezes my own looking up at me, “we are going to be okay Mar”. A couple of moments later our plane has landed, we gather up our belongings and make our way towards the exit filled with people attached to their screens and MP3 players. The airport is filled with an undercurrent of anticipation, impatience, and boredom; bodies scramble back and forth from one gate to another. My mother, attempting to balance three children, clasps my hand, holds my little brother to her waist and calls back to my older…

    The relationship I chose to analyze for my interpersonal communication paper was the relationship I had with my ex-girlfriend Laura. We met in high school through mutual friends and we dated throughout my junior and senior years. Communication problems and trust issues eventually were too big of a barrier to knock down and our relationship ended there. The main concepts I chose to analyze about my previous relationship were Personal Language, Nonverbal Communication, Proximity, the Social Penetration Theory, and lastly Relationship Threats. Personal Language shows your true self and is how you express your individuality and it is also more common in a private setting.…
