Communication

We all learn to speak from very early childhood. Speech is necessary in order to be understood by the people around us. But it is worth distinguishing between the concepts of “conversation” and “communication". Communication is not just a set of phrases, but a complex process consisting of verbal and nonverbal areas. The verbal domain refers to what exactly we say. But the nonverbal one is how exactly we do it. Nonverbal communication includes:

facial expressions; body language; tempo and timbre of the voice; subconscious reactions. In order to successfully communicate with other people, it is necessary to achieve harmony between the verbal and non-verbal components. So why can’t everyone do it?

To improve communication skills, I want to recommend you completely free simulators from a project called Wikium. They are available online around the clock, you can start studying right now, often you don’t even have to register.

There are also courses on this site. They are already paid, but the prices are very low, usually from 990 to 1,490 rubles. The courses help to develop a variety of skills: thinking, imagination, memory, verbal and nonverbal thinking, and so on. Why can’t I communicate Most often, the inability to successfully communicate with other people is based on problems from the field of psychology. These can be:

shyness; low self-esteem; fear of “blurting out” some nonsense; fear of expressing your opinion; diction problems (lisp, stuttering, burr, etc.). The causes of these problems often come from childhood, when communication skills are just being formed. Here are some of the factors that can lead to communication problems:

Entrenched complexes. Serious emotional shock. A long period of loneliness due to various circumstances, and as a result – social degradation. Strict restriction in communication with peers (parents did not let the child out of the house, did not allow him to communicate with other children). These are all quite serious reasons that require careful and long work with a psychologist. They manifest themselves in the fact that a person cannot even adequately respond to an appeal to him. He closes up, hides, can run away.
