The Media

Yesterday in class it really stood out to me how much misscommunication comes through the form of media it is sent from. It happened just after class when I was texting my fiance. I wrote something as a joke and normally I would put a smiley face or something next to it so he would know I wasn't serious. Unfortunately, I forgot and so he thought I was seriously upset. It didn't take long to fix the situation but it was necessary none the less. I also see this in my family with sarcasm. Me and my brother Cody are both extremely sarcastic. I avoid using it around my sister Niki because she always takes it personally . My brother hasn't figured that out yet or maybe just doesn't care and he hurts her feelings all the time. It has caused numerous family arguments over the years and a lot of harbored anger. It's definitely something that could be worked on.
