Self-Evaluation Country/Culture Speech In watching the video of my speech I could see that I was definitely still affected by my performance anxiety. I was shaking, and every time I would try to make eye contact I would lose all train of thought and my voice would sound shaky. I noticed that during my speech that there were some hand gestures being made, although most of which the audience would not have been able to see since I was keeping my hands behind the podium. Even though I did not have that stinking Kleenex as I did in the peer-introduction speech, I was still wringing my hands quite a bit. Considering the length of time I was given to work on my country/culture speech and practice it, I was feeling more confident than I had been with the peer-introduction speech.
One of my weaknesses is that I tend to over analyze/stress too much. This has been in my nature since I was a child. This fear has always held me back in speaking in front of an audience whether it is two or twenty. I fear has always been that I do not want to embarrass myself and seem like a failure in front of my peers. Another weakness I have as a public speaker is that I tend to stumble and skip sentences.
Most teachers paused at 135 volts and then began to question the purpose of the experiment. Most learners banged on the walls after several high shocks, the subjects wanted to stop after hearing the screams of pain coming from the learner. Most subjects still continued after being told they were not to be held responsible if anything happens to the learner, and same subjects began to laugh nervously and exhibit extreme signs of stress. Milgram also explains “the ordinary person who shocked the victim did so out of a sense of obligation, an impression of his duties as a subject, and not from any peculiarly aggressive tendencies” (White, Billings. Pg.699).
This is yet another factor that can put a relationship to the test. If the main source of communication in a relationship is texting, and they take a long time to reply it can get exceptionally old. Questions start pending such as, are you ignoring me, are you busy, or why have you not replied? Once they find out their significant other was just busy they ask, “Why didn’t you tell me you were going to be busy, instead of making me wait thirty minutes for your response?” This puts most people in a foul mood when they have to wait that long for a text back, which will make them both frustrated. In order to keep a relationship healthy there need to be physical conversing, or at least over the phone to hear the significant others

I went in, and had todo cognitive testing: an IQ test, a reading test, and a slew of other things that I was just lost in. I felt an unbearable sensation of anxiousness growing with every new task we started. All I could think of was testing and wanting to get out. I questioned why I was even going through all of this effort. Every time I walked out for a break, the tension was eased, and I reminded myself why I was there.
He goes on to tell us that people usually like to talk more than listen. When you think about it how many times have you been having a conversation and you have been so fixated on waiting for them to finish so that you can say what you want? The Flat-Brain Theory of Emotions is the major theme discussed in part one. It explains how we allow our emotions thinking and relating abilities work and how what goes on inside of us comes out in the ways we communicate and act (Peterson, 2007). When you are angry with someone and trying to communicate, it does not often come out how you intended for it to come out but instead it comes out angry.
Often we react quickly to emotionally charged words or subjects. Internally we think of ways to respond to the speaker and argue our position. In this process we often quit listening to what is being said. We make judgments and respond to those judgments as if the speaker’s position were accurately known to us. Criticisms from supervisors and peers often are met with emotional listening resistance.
Generalized Anxiety Disorder BEH/225 All of us worry about things occasionally. Financial stress, illness, or loss of a spouse can cause us to fear the unknown. There are aspects of life that we cannot always control, and that in itself can be a scary thought. Sometimes, it may feel like the “what ifs” of life, the things we cannot control, begin to consume our thoughts. Most of us may feel this way periodically, when the fear or worry is justified.
In many different tragic cases, this type of physical and emotional stress can really take a toll on a person so much that the ending results are suicide for the victim. There had been so many times that I had thought about suicide and that I had got so close but I was just too scared. Many can't say that about wanting to take their own life but I was honestly scared. There was times when I just didn't care and I would get so close and then I would get anxious and nervous and just step back from the edge of taking my own life. There are so many signs and symptoms of children getting bullied and I personally have experienced all of them.
