Let's Talk!

How do I talk to you, and have you talk to me? How do I communicate? Does it matter if it's a group of people or just you and I?

The answer to that last question in my book is most definitely! The difference between a group and a single person are how can you combine a group of people and their feelings and how do you talk to an individual with singular feelings.
When I'm talking to an individual I really try to make them feel as comfortable as possible and so my way of communicating is usually catered to who they appear to be as a person, like gregarious or quiet, guarded or open. Sometimes I look at myself think it might be "flip-flop-y" but really I just think everyone has a unique story to tell and by communicating to different people differently you allow them to feel secure and therefore tell more of their story. So with a person who is an obviously loud open person I expect a lot of talking on their part with little prompting on mine. But for someone who seems more guarded, it might take more questions to discuss something.
When looking at a group their is a big difference in communicating. Because their are so many thoughts and words flying around you really need to be a more vocal person to have your voice heard. And then to lead that group, I think you need to be obviously passionate in your way of speaking to make all those people follow your idea.
What's interesting about communication is that as humans we do it so many different ways. Through actions as well as words. A single, well-placed hug can mean as much as a years worth of "Thank You" cards. And who can say that they talk to their grandparents or baby cousins the same way they talk to their close friends in college.
Communication is as unique as the person who's wielding it, and appears in just as many forms.
