Intrapersonal Communication involves talking to oneself or a communication


process that takes place within one person. Talking to oneself is one of the things that
others consider as a necessary part of their daily routine.

This does not only allow you to audit how your day has happened; it also
allows you to affirm yourself for the good things you have done, or to remind you on
the learning points you gained from an event or situation. This is the context in which
verbal and nonverbal communication should be minimized.
Example: Thinking about a perfect place for a first date,
Reflecting on an issue,
Thinking about a perfect place for a first date.

II. Interpersonal Communication involves talking to one person or a limited


number of people. This requires you to adjust your speech to suit the character and
personality of the person or people you talk to. Since you are communicating with a
limited number of people, the opportunity for feedback and clarification is much
greater.

Two (2) types of Interpersonal Communication


1. Dyad Communication is an interpersonal communication that takes place
between two persons.
Example: Two classmates working together on an activity given,
A daughter sharing her first day of school experience to her mother

2. Small Group When interpersonal communication is between three or more (as


large as 15) people, it is considered a small group. In small group communication, you
often have one who acts as a leader or facilitator. This person can be appointed by the
group or initiated by a person who has the ability to facilitate the discussion among the
participants. It is also often utilized by most organizations for resolving and managing
conflicts, for building consensus, and for participatory decision-making.
Example: A customer asking the salesperson for the price of a fruit,
A group consisting of members discussing the points to highlight in their thesis defense,
Few homeroom officers exchanging ideas on how to make their Christmas party fun.

III. Public communication involves communicating to a wide group of people with
very varied traits, backgrounds, interests, and persuasions. It, therefore, requires a lot of
background explanation in expressing your ideas. Engaging in this type of
communication means avoiding specialized language such as jargon or slang.
This type of communication also requires you to avoid topics or discussions that
may be understandable to only a select few. In addition, when communicating publicly,
you avoid any comment that may be prejudicial to a particular group of people. Public
communication also limits the opportunity for feedback and clarification due to the large
number of participants.
Example: Joining in speech competitions such as oration and declamation or
debate,
Delivering your campaign speech during the SSG election grand rally.

interview
Listening to the latest weather update from a radio station.
Posting relevant reels on Facebook.
