THE IMPORTANCE OF COMMUNICATION
Our personalities influence the effectiveness of our communication with others. Therefore, developing appropriate personality traits is necessary to deal with different types of personalities, emotions and conflict situations in life effectively.
Being emotionally healthy does not necessarily mean that you are happy all the time or that you are satisfied with yourself and the relationships you have with others. Rather, it may mean that you are aware of your feelings and thoughts about yourself and those of others.
This awareness and acknowledgement may help you to develop better coping strategies which could be used to deal with conflict or changes in relationships.
