"A concious decision to choose to develop one's communication competence, and invest time, energy, thought and feeling to improve relationships with others."
I remember studying about perceptions and it was so interesting to me how we form groups. It is also interesting to me how we percieve things based on other's definitions of something.
Once, my definition reared its ugly head in a dream. It scared me and the thought of it now scares me.
In thinking about the word that scares so many people, it really isn't that scarey when you break it down. It is a choice to develop communication competence, an investment. The end result - improve relationships with others. That is all it is, and once you look at it that way, it is not so bad after all.
