What are your interpersonal strengths and weaknesses as far as communication skills go?


I use my hands, facial expressions and eyes very often, usually observant and focusing on others' eyes while we talk, as well as, their gestures and body language. But I have worked on not being "touchy", as I used to have a tendency to put my arm around people or touch their arms or shoulders while talking with them. Have learnt to "back off" in that sense.

As far as actual conversation goes, I am focused, but sometimes get caught up in details. Vocal, but at times open up too much or sometimes crude (or misunderstood, either way you want to see it, hehe). Receptive, but sometimes overanalyse things. I have an inquisitive nature, but sometimes come across as too curious, and am mindful of that.

There is more to me, but I don't want to make this a boring, detailed answer. :-p

    I’m good at explaining things out, but I’m horrible at making eye contact to those I don’t know.

    I’m really good at expressing myself – but sometimes have to hold myself back or tone it down – and its hard! lol

    I am not very intelligent when it comes to wording what I want to say, so I sound like stupid.

    I always look people in the eyes when I talk to them.

    I have a Master in Buddhist counseling, now a retired buddhist priest, so I listen with a non-judgmental, compassionate ear, and never charged a fee. Since I retired, I volunteer at a VA Hospital Program, called No One Dies Alone (NODA) where you sit with terminal Veterans, that have less than a week or days left, because they have no friends or relatives to visit them. My weakness, I tend to take other peoples problems to heart, which is not good.

    we ‘re very empathetic… sometimes to a fault… in that we expect others to understand as readily as we do… not so good at names… although we remember concepts or stories very well… sometimes we can be careless with topics others are sensitive about… can be too honest… likes to argue… can be very stubborn… communicating is hard… always seams to be some kind of ill communication making difficult things harder…
