Communication
One of the most important functions of our human species is the ability to transmit information. We are talking not only about the experience of our ancestors or important discoveries, but also about things that are quite ordinary for us. Agree, it is extremely difficult to be isolated from other people. At a minimum, there is the Internet, which helps a person communicate without distance restrictions. This allows our society not only to successfully exchange information, but also to constantly develop, progress, and provides the opportunity for people located on different continents to work together.
I am a mirror
How to please a person
if you don't know anything about his tastes? It’s simple – “mirror” his habits. The psychological background is this: we are drawn to those who are similar to us. At a deeper level, these are general views and principles, and at a superficial level, these are the style of clothing, movement, and manners. Just by crossing your legs or adjusting your jacket in the same way as your interlocutor does, you can demonstrate that you belong.
Of course, there is a measure for everything and you need to “mirror” carefully, otherwise it will look strange and ridiculous.
As it was before?
Language is what helps people communicate today. Of course, this is far from the only way, but one of the main ones. But several thousand, even tens of thousands, years ago everything was completely different. Now many people do not know or have no idea what helped ancient people communicate. However, almost each of us found the answer to this question in childhood. Quite often, if given the opportunity, children begin to draw before speaking or writing. It’s much easier to simply convey what they see, and they may not even know the national language. Cave paintings, images on trees - all this allowed primitive people to communicate with each other, express their fears, feelings or save moments from their lives.
Friendship doesn't just happen
At an early age, children and adolescents are brought together daily. They spend several hours at school, then chat after school. This repetition gives them the opportunity to test each other, adapt, study, choose those with whom it was comfortable and interesting. As people get older, many of these organic opportunities begin to dry up.
You shouldn't sit around doing nothing and hope that new acquaintances will become your friends on their own. To make this happen, you must put in some effort. Is there someone in your life who could be a good friend? Psychologists give some practical advice to help make this a reality.
Language
Ancient society developed, and with it the human mind, people's capabilities, and much more moved forward. Sooner or later, people began to transmit small sound signals that notified others of some important event. Currently, this is often observed in primates and some birds, which use sound to notify other members of their flock of danger.
But man had a more developed mind, with high potential, and therefore he gradually began to translate abrupt, monotonous sounds into something like speech. Later it developed, the language of people became more and more complex, rich in expressions. This made it possible to convey information much more accurately than drawings.
Text is a derived method of communication from language, because it is completely built on it. However, the scope of its application is much wider, and the benefits are much higher. It is the text and the opportunity to express one’s thoughts in writing that is the tool that helps people communicate and convey experience in our time. Thanks to books, chronicles and other writings, we can obtain historical information or study human achievements in science made several decades ago.
We value more those for whom we have done something.
If you have done something for a person, then you automatically consider him “yours.” You spent time and energy on it, and now you seem to be responsible for it. There is a trick - if you don’t like a friend, do something nice for him, and your dislike will disappear.
Ask for a small favor, and you will immediately become closer to the person. Of course, there is no need to overdo it and “sit on your head.” You just need to ask to hold the door or borrow a phone to make a call.
Everyone who, by profession, is constantly in contact with people, must master such knowledge and skills as the skill of public speaking ,
nonverbal means of communication, methods of psychological influence, the art of emerging victorious from a dispute, etc.
The main thing is to use this knowledge with good intentions, and not to manipulate and use people for your own purposes. Earning a reputation as a charming rogue is very easy. It’s like with black and white magic - the same methods either create or destroy a person. Build yourself, love others, and may the power of communication psychology be with you!

Telephone, radio
This includes any means of exchanging information using sounds. With the invention of the first landline telephone, people's lives changed significantly, because now it was possible not only to read letters from a loved one, but also to talk to him, to hear his voice. This is not to mention the invention of cell phones. In any case, audio communication is one of the best ways that helps people communicate.
In addition, it is worth saying that audio exchange of information is perhaps the most convenient for any person. Moreover, given the fact that science is constantly developing, communication can overcome more significant limitations than distance. For example, there are people who were unable to speak from birth due to illness or physiological defects, or who acquired such an illness during their lives. If we also imagine that such a person is deprived of the opportunity to type printed text on his own, then the picture becomes sadder. However, remember the famous physicist Stephen Hawking. A modern chair was specially designed for him, which allows him to exchange information not only with text content, but also with audio content.
A Practical Guide for Anyone Who Loves Introverts or Highly Sensitive People
You may already know how irritation and anger can unsettle you. If your immediate family understands how aggression affects you and lends a helping hand in difficult situations, it will be easier for you to engage in confrontation when necessary and find a solution to any conflict of interest.
In Denmark, I interviewed forty-five highly sensitive individuals about what kind of reaction they would like to get from their interlocutor when a relationship worsens. The variety of responses surprised me, but general trends were also visible.
More on this later in the practical guide for relatives. It is not at all a fact that everything stated in it will be relevant for you, however, based on it, you can create your own wish list for your relatives, which will be useful to them during quarrels.
How best to communicate with me during quarrels
- Stop screaming. I am unpleasantly surprised, frightened and unable to understand you.
- If you are not shy in your expressions, I will, of course, forgive you, but I will not be able to come to my senses for a long time, and my nervous system will be shaken. Even if the conflict ends in reconciliation and you will not regret that you decided to sort things out with me.
- Tell me calmly what makes you angry, and try to explain how I can improve the current situation. In this case, I will meet you halfway in order to understand you as best as possible, and I will do everything possible to find a solution that suits both of us.
- When I'm angry, give me the opportunity to be alone for a while in peace and quiet. I promise to tell you what makes me angry, but it may take me a long time to think things through and formulate my thoughts.
- Please don't be nervous when I tell you about the difficulties in our relationship. If you deny everything or get angry, I will reach a dead end. If I notice that you are not listening, I will not be able to muster the strength to finish speaking. I will irrevocably lose the thread of the conversation, the energy and the desire to continue it.
- Don't forget that my position is very precarious, so I need your support.
These tips do not imply unquestioning adherence.
Video conference
Skype, video chat and similar programs are the most modern way that helps people communicate. It is quite difficult to talk about them briefly, because each such service has its own long history. All we can do is derive benefits and benefits from the use of such programs. The interlocutor can not only hear us, but also see us, being at a great distance from the place where we communicate with him. This also includes television, which since its inception has played a huge role in human life. Of course, they are closely related to the work of the Internet, which is discussed below, however, these are independent developments that deserve our attention.
Instagram, Youtube
No matter how much anyone loves this service, it is the best thing that helps a person communicate using his photos. This way you can tell people what you are doing, where you are at the moment, or convey the brightest moments of your life. While photography was once used to capture an important moment, it is now a common element of communication.
Video hosting sites are more popular and cause less aggression. On them you can find many useful videos, through which communication is also carried out.
“Promote” your interlocutor in rank
The main idea of this method is to demonstrate that the interlocutor gives the impression of a person who has already achieved his prospects. It’s like calling a major a lieutenant colonel - it seems like they made a mistake, but the person is pleased. You can compare your interlocutor with some star or millionaire: approaching the powers that be, at least externally, we already feel inspired.
Internet
There is nowhere without him now. At a minimum, you would not be able to read this article if you did not have access to the World Wide Web. The Internet also has its own rich and quite interesting history, but its main function is the exchange of information. It includes everything that helps a person communicate in the modern world. At the same time, your knowledge of the language, the country where you live, or other elements of life are practically unimportant to him. It has the ability to connect you with almost anyone on the planet in the most convenient way for you. In addition, it can be used for scientific or educational purposes. Through the Internet, some scientists publish their scientific works and important research. Some people use it for commercial purposes. One way or another, this type of communication is the most popular in the modern world, as evidenced by multimillion-dollar social networks.
In the modern world, there is hardly any information that is so important that will not be saved and passed on to other people.
