3/12/09 Blog on Communication

I thought that the conversations that we had in class about communication were really interesting. I thought that when we were talking about the different ways that males and females communicate was funny. I can so relate to all of that and I think that everyone can! I grew up in a really small town (there were 10 girls in my class). I have never gotten along very well with any girls so I always hung out with the guys in my class. I always got along great with them but I formed a really close bond with my mom and sister. I think/know that I did this because I needed a girl to talk to about those things that guys just don't understand. Now being far from home I call my mom at least 3 times a day, but it's not the same. I'm just not getting my interaction with other girls as much as I need and I think I'm taking it out on my boyfriend. Although he is adapting very well I think he gets annoyed with the fact that I tend to tell him about some of those things that only a girl would really care about. I just thought that the gender differences that we went over in class are right on. When guys communicate it is so different then communication with girls. Don't get me wrong I love hanging out and being with my boyfriend and all the guys but I just need my time every once and while with girls!
