So we have reached the end. Last week of classes. Time to reflect.
There was a lot of interesting topics that we covered in this class. One of my favorites to learn about was vocalics. It's something that after learning about, I noticed that my boyfriend and I did a lot of it when communicating with each other. I knew we did some, but I didn't know just how many there were. For example, when I want his attention when he isn't looking I will whine at him with increasing volume. So it was fun to see vocalics in my personal life.
I also didn't know about proxemic communication, so that was interesting to see what mine says about me. I don't really like being near people if I can't help it. This is really noticeable when I am in lines because I try to give the people ahead of me at least a foot or two. My hope is that I am showing respect for the others person's space because I don't know how comfortable they are with distance however, I am worried it comes across as standoffish and rude. But I'm probably just thinking about it too much and "finding" things that aren't really there.
