Personal Knowledge

According page 24 of the text, Interpersonal communication fosters personal knowledge and insights, I learned that people have to understand each other's feeling in order to connect as unique individuals. Which corresponded with I-It to I-Thou procedure that I read. When the relationship between my friends and I becomes closer, I started to understand their background, and I would understand their concerns, and personal issues that happens on them. The text also mentioned that  sometimes people may even feel that their closest friends know themselves better that they do. I agreed with this statement. I believed my friend really know my personality better than myself, because when I shared experience with them, they know what I really can do, but not what I think I could do. I can always improve myself while communicating to closed friend of mine Also, when it turned into the I-Thou relationship, people create their own method to communicate in order to make each other feel more comfortable.
