Week 2 Post

One reason that I wanted to explore the field of interpersonal communication was so that I could argue better. Chapter 14 mentions a few things along those lines, and the one that really caught my attention was communication apprehension. This is defined as having high levels of anxiety over how they may be evaluated in a given situation or how they might behave. I have definitely experienced this before because when I was having relationship problems, I stopped talking about it to my best friend because I felt like she was going to judge me. This only made the situation worse because I didn’t have anyone to talk to.
