(Reflective Paper)
Interpersonal Communication means the verbal and non-verbal interactions between two or more people. It has become inevitable in today’s society, just like at lunch time, we either goes to a restaurant or fast food stores, waiters always standing by the door welcoming customers and ask them “how many people?” This is when you need to communicate with the waiter even you don’t want to talk to them.
In this reflective paper, I will share my reflections on my personal experiences in observing, communicating and building relationship with my girl friend. We have been together for nearly 11months now, within the 11months, I have been observing, communicating and building a good relationship with my girlfriend called Kairos.
The first time that I saw Kairos was 12 months ago in Central, when I was working as an extra in TVB. At that time, when I first seeing her, I think that she is some kind of autism person with a lot of complains in her mind, because she doesn’t talk to people and she likes to stand at corners by herself. Which made me assumed that she doesn’t like to communicate with people.
I saw her again at work, she was carrying a NDS with her, and I’ve decided to communicate with her. I asked her “hey! You have a NDS?” “Yes.” She said. “Do you have Mario Kart the racing game on it? I asked again. She answered “Yes”. I then ask her to play the game with me through wireless. And this was how we communicate with each other for the first time.
After me and Kairos are together in a relationship, we usually have arguments through petty things. There was a time when I was doing my academic essays on my computer, Kairos was beside me, she then talked a lot about clothes, cartoons, movies, hand bags and etc, which I cannot stand her being so noisy. So I have controlled my pressured and ask her “Can you let me finish off my essay first?” She replied “Do you think I am annoying?” and this is when argument begins.
