I just called... to sayyyy..., I love you!

Hey people of North Village C!
I want to talk to you guys about Meaningful Interpersonal Relationships! 


Ok, so what kind of relationships are included ? Well....
1. Friendships
2. Family
3. Romantic
4. Professional 

Now, I know that at least one out of the four types of relationships relates to all of you. I am sure that you have besties, a fam, a special someone hehe ;) or a job. You should always try to keep these ties strong because these are the people that are involved in some of the most important aspects of your life!
The upcoming information is very basic, but may be used as tools to strengthen each type of relationship listed.
Check it...

KEY ELEMENTS IN INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS:
A. COMMUNICATION
"I just called...to say...I Love You"

-talk to that loved one, your parents, or your boss! Let them know what is going on in your life! If you keep them in the dark, they will never know who you are or why you have had a stanky attitude for the past four days. A lack of communication builds a wall. Now, how can you build meaningful interpersonal relationships with someone with a 10ft wall blockading you!?

B. TRUST

-oh boy this is a big one! People usually attribute this to the romantic relationships and the friendships. However, this stretches to the relationships you build at work and even with those family members you have known for literally all your life! A constant state of skepticism toward others' actions will never allow you to become closer to your friends, family,  and coworkers!

C. CARRYING CAPACITY

-ok this may seem somewhat out of place but it is worth mentioning. Some of us looooovvvveee people and can't help it when we get to know everyone around us. This is a good thing, but it can be detrimental to developing meaningful interpersonal relationships. It is very difficult for us to keep track of friends that come in the hundreds and more. If possible, try to focus on a few people who mean a great deal to you. Investing time and energy can take your relationship further! 

So, what's the take home message?
Communicate with the people that you want to make meaningful interpersonal relationship. Trust them! Trust allows the relationship to grow! And remember your carrying capacity! Friends are great, but having too many might set your goals for meaningful interpersonal relations back!
Enjoy !
