Unit 1 Journal

Unit 1 Journal 1) I see myself as a strong group member because I enjoy working with others and have no problem keeping the peace if needed but like to reach a conclusion that works for all with as little drama as possible. I’m not afraid to speak my mind but I bite my tongue and try not to offend. My behavior is usually to make sure everyone agrees on the task at hand and to be cooperative with all. 2) Well spoken, logical thinker and fountain of facts due to having no life except for reddit’s today I learned ( reddit.com/r/todayilearned ). Despite previous comment I tend to keep myself in check until I can fully back my facts and I have learned through many different “quarrels” that nothing is worth a fight and everything and everyone deserves a turn to speak and be listened to. 3) Taking notes for groups simply due to horrible writing skills, I tend to debate too much on things with a group because I’m stuck in a logical linear path. I handle notes ok as long as I can type otherwise I tend to back down and be quite and try to make it legible. The debating I shut my mouth once I realize I am going too much into it before I hurt feelings. I feel I handle this well but was a very large problem in the past costing me friends over the years has taught me otherwise. 4) Helping stress the importance of facts without offending others is my best/worst strength. I wish to become better at it so I don’t sound like a dick when saying things. I would like to be a little more timid since I feel like I do intimidate others a lot. Becoming a better note taker would be nice but unrealistic. Get over my phobia of speaking (yes phobia as I have had nervous break downs and literally dropped out of school for it.).
