What communication skills are you working on or would like to further develop?
Effective communication is certainly the need of the hour , nobody would know what you want or what you think till you tell them !
I am honestly often in the same boat as many others who find communicating things hard specially when it comes to reaching out for support .
I think confidence is one skill definitely helpful with effective communication, so I'd like to work on it ! π

@CheeryMango
I've kind of developed a silver tongue lately, gotten better with sarcasm and saying some cool and useful things. I'm still not good communicating more personal feelings though.

@Torean
Relatable!

Yey! my very favourite topic:)
I am working on identifying and expressing my needs.. I am often a passive communicator.

@CheeryMango
I am working on how to keep conversations. Because I wasn't really good in making conversations but I guess now I am improving here. And secondly, the skill I want to develop is confidence as so many people said here and how to express your thoughts, feelings and all π

@LovetoGod
Confidence looks good on you!

Growing my active listening skills, and communicating when there is an emotional reaction of fear or anger (mine or the other persons).

@VioletSpringGlade
I believe this is one of the best practices for effective communication. Even I am working on anger management. Thank you for sharing! β€

@CheeryMango
I'm working on conveying it when something someone does or says makes me uncomfortable or is simply unwanted to me.

I hope to be able to differentiate between real and "unreal" (such as jokes). I tend to perceive everything as it is.

@CheeryMango
What communication skills are you working on or would like to further develop? I am working on being more direct.

I have a bad habit of being brutal and not watching people feelings.
