Question

identify one intrapersonal relationship and evaluate its component.

Answer 1

• Interpersonal relationships are directed towards other people.When we communicate and share our thoughts with others,thats interpersonal.One example could be our relationships with our friends.
• Interpersonal relationships are strong,deep and personal which are based on mutual agreement.When we make friends,we tend to get attracted to those,who we share some similar interests with and wavelengths match.Also when in our workplace,if we are working with someone in close proximity communication happens,and we might develop a friendship.
• Another component of interpersonal relationships is reciprocity.When one person likes you and wants to interact with you,then you also reciprocate those feelings of likeness,and interact with them,leading to a friendship.Thats how my friendship was formed,I found like-minded people in college,with whom my friendship became life long.The feeling of likeness was mutual since we all shared similar interests.
• Self disclosure is also an important component of interpersonal relationships.Since these relationships are personal,we tend to share our thoughts and our personal experiences with those who we trust and are close with.
• I might be having a lot of friends,but self disclosure would happen with one single friend who is really close to me and whom I trust completely and know that they would understand me without any judgements,that he/she would keep my secret to themselves and not share with anyone else.This friend would be my confidante who would understand my problem and help me selflessly.
• Self disclosure leads to attraction and a feeling of closeness to someone with who you feel comfortable sharing your vulnerabilities and personal facts about yourself.Also if you self disclose,it is likely that the other person would reciprocate and self disclose to you as well.Thats how friendships are formed.
