      I think we all experienced at least once going into a group and no one wants to talk either it's because they don't want to be here , shy , uncomfortable, or simply just lost. During group projects i'm usually the type of person who likes to get things done, so I talk for people if I see them shy or need to start up topics or simple just do the work for them.

As many of us do consciously or not we talk to ourselves or in our head to understand ourselves, because we know us best. This aspect of communication is also important because it how we maintain ourselves and influence others perceptions of ourselves. Mass communication is also an interest of mine, because I find it fascinating how the internet and platforms can reach different countries and a larger group of people rather than just around us. Especially because most of my family live in Palestine and we need various platforms and or the internet to contact and keep up to date with them.     Im interested in both psychology and anything in the cosmetology. The whole topic of psychology is in an interest to me, i'm also a crime addict and the study of the mind and behavior for certain people how they act, thin
