Personal Reflection

Personal Reflection

Communicate with different people is something I really haven't paid attention to. I just communicate in how they communicate with me like talking, language, movement, things like that. I guess when talking with others or with my own family I can see the difference especially with my mother, sister, and brothers. Really never knew that it could be so different. I really think that if I know the difference of how communicating with others can affect relationship in between. I have seen many different people who communicate with others and sometimes they are bad and good. I have notice when I talk with my husband we talk different and act different when we are talking about the news or just topics that come up that happen in everyday life. Sometimes we argue because one I don't agree with him or two he don't agree with me. For example an argument that happen about a week ago was about some drug war that goes on in Mexico almost every day he asked me if one day me and our children would like to go to his home place in Acapulco Mexico to visit his family, my reaction was like heck no. He started to argue that there was nothing going on in his home town and that he really wants the children to visit their grandma. We argued for about a whole week until I told him that if he doesn't behave then we won't go. He just looked at me like I was crazy. Still today we still have that argument but less because I tell him that it is not important. As I see and hear the way I communicate with him sometimes I wonder why we communicate so different. Well it's because we think different and have different opinions of almost everything. Not only when I talk with my husband but with others who have different reactions of the topics I and my husband talked about. I am not really sure if I understand why I or anyone else communicates different with others. I have notice that when talking with people who I do not know really well I either get nervous or don't really have interest in what they are saying. I have also found out that if the topic is interesting I really want to give my opinion out but something inside stops me and I just rather listen and not say anything. I believe that is not the right way to communicate with others but that is the way I communicate. Communicating can be so hard sometimes because there are things that make me mad and some that make me sad. It's really hard to communicate with others who have different opinions or reasons and talk different of the topic. Another example talking with my husband's family from Mexico I really don't understand what they sometimes say
