2). Review the fallacies discussed in the last section of this chapter. Do any of these fallacies show up in your intrapersonal communication? After reading about the fallacies and ways to challenge them, can you monitor and revise your intrapersonal communication?
I know a little bit of every fallacy shows up in my intrapersonal communication but thankfully it is not severe in any certain category. If i were to pick one to work on, it would be fear of catastrophic failure. I have a slightly tendency to have a negative outlook on life and it affects my confidence and ability to achieve my goals. I'm already trying to work on this part of me by working harder and putting more successful accomplishments in my life to boost my self-confidence. I think the best way to conquer all of these fallacies is that remember you are human and responsible for others to a certain extent, mistakes happen and goals are never impossible to achieve. There is no point in thinking negatively about ourselves because it will only hold us back from our true potential. I'm sure all of us are amazing people but a lot of us are held back with these fallacies.
I also stated that a little bit of each fallacy presents itself in my intrapersonal communication on my blog post. I hope that you are able to monitor and revise your intrapersonal communicating successfully. Since you have already realized your fallacies, I believe that you will be able to do so. The first step to fixing one's self is realizing one's flaws. That is an optimistic way to think of it! I agree. If you keep thinking negatively and assuming that you will never amount to anything, then you will never fix your problems and you will follow your thoughts. Lastly, your last sentence made me smile. I also believe that all of us have the potential to be amazing individuals in life!
