Perception Paper

Preamble

For the following perception reflection, I opted for my best friend, Annya, who lives in Taiwan, because, with her, my friendship bond is strong and dynamic.

Definition of interpersonal communication and aspects of improvement

Annya is my best friend she lives in Taiwan, and we both have several similarities (as well as differences), including we both are Asians. My relationship with her meets the definition of interpersonal communication because we are mutually dependent individuals and know each other quite well. When it comes to interpersonal communication and aspects of improvement, it is imperative to understand that although it is a simple way of sharing thoughts, ideas, and conversation but it is also known considered as an ardent skill. Interpersonal communication is an active device that stabilizes the notion of collaboration between two or more people. Regardless of antiquity or substantiality of a relationship, interpersonal communication requires constant efforts and deliberate attention towards the message and its context from the speakers standpoint.

In this context, I want to admit that there are some dimensions of my interpersonal communication with Annya that need improvements. The recent era of technology allows us to have frequent live video and voice call sessions, and we also stay connected through messages. The implied frequency of communication or should say availability makes it a difficult task to heed what she says, and sometimes I feel unable to focus on what should I say to her. Such scenarios usually create an awkward tediousness even between best friends like us. Therefore, I am looking forward to practicing active listening and mental focus while conversing with her because I understand that it feels pathetic when one is communicating with you with a wandering mind.

Friendship Maintenance Goals with Annya

The phase of maintaining relationships entices the idea of interactions that proffer sustenance to the core connectivity. Unlike other associations, friendship is a unique and multi-faceted bond that engages pals into a myriad of behaviors to uphold their relationship. In face-to-face friendships, individuals tend to hang out together, do recreational and leisure activities mutually, but in long-distance friendships, such luxuries are rare, and therefore supporting, sharing, and advising becomes significant aspects in such cases. Annya and I share a long-distance connection, and we seldom get a chance for meet-ups (I met her last time five years ago). Still, we never seize to talk about meager and significant family issues and to be honest, we are daily-human-diaries for each other. I cherish Annyas sincere presence in my life and looking forward to maintaining its beauty through frequent interactions. I assume that stillness and halting are detrimental factors for any relationship, and in friendships, stationary may create distance, hesitance, and formalities.

My Interaction with Annya and Impact on My Self-Concept

Friendship is an integral fraction of life as social animals, humans prefer to have company, people they could rely on. In Annya case, I feel fortunate to have her as my best friend, I am an introvert and do not mingle or get closed to others easily, but Annya is the only friend that I can confide in without any second thought. Now when I am answering this question, I evaluate the profoundness of influence she has on me. Unlike other mediocre people, Annya never drags me to something I am not willing to do she never takes advantage of me regardless of all frankness, she depicts utmost respect towards my values, emotions, and preferences. She never mocks me for my failures and always treats me with a delicate gesture of self-esteem. Before becoming her best friend, I used to doubt my every skill and ability to do something, but she appreciates me full-heartedly even for my little efforts that augment my self-confidence manifold.

Depth and Breadth of Disclosure in Friendship

Self-disclosure can be defined as an intentional disclosure of personal information to any other person. In my relationships, I usually believe in the power of less self-disclosure but with Annya, my self-disclosure is natural, a perfect blend of not-too-little and not-too-much. I have mentioned that I am an introvert and, therefore, not very fond of sharing bit and pieces about my personality, but Annya is a sly observant through even video calls, voice calls and messaging, she unearths several personality traits and habits of mine. For instance, she knows that I use to make a frowning face when confused, sometimes I swear, she knows my moods through text messaging she knows when I use ok instead of okkkk that means I am angry with her, she knows that I can die for Pizza and Captain America. Annya knows about my family and about the mental disorder of my uncle (it is something I do not share with anyone). I also let her know about my financial issues without thinking much such thing is tricky to do with other people because most of the time, people judge you for class, status, and other materialistic possessions. I can tell her that I had a bad day and why I can share my failures and flaws with her. I think for me, the depth and breadth of my self-disclosure with Annya is quite thorough, and I am satisfied with it and unable to trace any tinge of embarrassment because we both honor each others integrity and esteem our problems, happy and sad times along with triumphs and failure. We laugh together but never on each other we never use stabbing words and sarcasm and strive to demonstrate utmost empathy. With Annya, I feel free to discuss my achievements and disappointments because I trust her, she never judges me for my dismays neither she gets jealous of my prosperity.

Perceptual Barriers

Perception can be defined as a process that comprised of three interrelated fractions people utilize to make sense of gestures or communication they confront. In due course, an individual selects, organizes, and interprets motives to establish a better understanding of others. The difference of perception and perspective of analyzing and concluding different personalities, issues, and scenarios sometimes rather, most of the time, creates perceptual communicational barriers. As a matter of fact, Annya and I share the continental backdrop we both are Asians and, therefore, the perceptual frameworks of our values and origin are almost similar. However, our life experiences vary to a great extent, which sometimes creates a challenging situation for both of us. The underlying perceptual issue in this regard is an elongated argument in fact, we both see the prospect of the world from different perspectives. According to Annya, one should not leave their homelands in search of promising opportunities meanwhile, I hold totally opposite grounds. Similarly, I want to stay single and spend a creative tourism life, but Annya believes in building a family I always yearn for sky diving, but Annya considers it a waste of time, money, and she perceives that sky diving is parallel of dying. We also have other minor perceptual differences, but the above mentioned are prevalent ones. The idea about leaving the country is the up-beat debating issue between us, and sometimes we even get angry with each other. But eventually, we both realize our positions and resolve the issues by overlooking the pulsing subjects.
