Points of You:

In Contact With Others
By: Glory May T. Aguilar

Good communication starts with knowing yourself well enough to know what a healthy relationship with people looks like. To achieve this, we must have a good interpersonal communication skill.
Interpersonal communication skills are tools we use to let others know what we think, feel, need, and want. And they know how we let others know what we understand, what they think, feel, need, and want. Sometimes, we tend to be careless of what we say to others without knowing that they are hurt. We tend to ignore them without knowing how they feel, and sometimes force them to do something they don’t want. To avoid these, all we need to do is to be sensible enough so that we won’t hurt somebody’s feelings.
In addition, each one of us has different strategies for communicating in different situations. As a result, there is a very real possibility that when two of us get together, there are certain circumstances in which we are less effective of communicating with each other than we would like. By increasing our repertoire of interpersonal communication skills, we can increase our overall effectiveness and good communication with others.
Building a good relationship with people is not that easy, we must learn or know how to deal with them. We should respect them regardless of their cultural background and minorities, of what and who they are, it’s either they are rich or poor, young or old, or a reason with high authority or not.
Socialization is important, basically because it is the process by which human beings as material organism living together with other material organisms must learn to pattern their behavior, and adapt it to ways of acting that are considered appropriate to the society in which they live. Basically, it’s how you learn how to act.
Socialization goes hand in hand with enculturation, which is the process by which human beings as intelligent, reflexive creatures living together with other similar organisms must pattern they way of thinking and feeling and adapt it to the ways of thinking and feeling in their society. Pretty much how people learn how to think and feel about certain actions.
To be good in contact with others, we need to be sensible enough and be considerate with the feelings of others, most of all, be you.
