I thought I lacked communication skills. The changes that occurred through authentic expression

I don't want to be disliked.

I want to be thought of well.

The more I think that way, the more my charm fades, and the other person drifts away.

I am shy and not good with words.

I am not good at conversations in large groups.

Therefore, I have no "communication skills."

That was my self-assessment until now.

I thought one-on-one conversations were still better, though.

Especially when meeting someone for the first time, I can't talk very well.

I started to avoid conversations as much as possible.

Since then, I have been posting every day for three months now.

The only thing I keep in mind is to continue posting in a fun and authentic way.

By doing it for a long time, I stopped worrying about what others think of me.

Just by expressing my true self, there are readers who read it every day.

There are people who press the like button and follow me.

Wait, could it be that I'm not disliked?

Actually, it feels like I'm liked.

Oh, I just said "I'm loved."

Looking back, ever since I was a student, people would tell me, "HARUKI, you're such a lovable character."

I have no charm.

Therefore, it's impossible for me to show my true self.

I was the one who was convinced of that.

I was finally able to accept that the highest compliment of being a "lovable character" was directed at me.

Since then, without even being particularly conscious of it, I've been able to speak in everyday conversations in a relaxed manner.

By no longer being overly conscious of myself, I became able to focus my attention on the other person.

It is often said that in communication, "listening" is more important than speaking, but to listen well, you cannot be thinking only about yourself.

I don't know what you think, but this is how I am.

If you'd like, please take a look.

As if gently leaving my authentic expression in the town of note.

I've become able to relax and be my natural self.

Then, perhaps because that was conveyed to others, I've been told more often that I am "easy to talk to."

It is definitely going better than when I was straining to speak well.

I, who was possessed by the monster called "communication skills," may finally be finding my own communication style.

Now, tonight is the launch party for "Hatsu-Commu," which gave me such wonderful realizations!

I would be happy if we could continue to get along well!

I have been posting every day for three months now!
