Paper Sample on Personal Behavioral Changes

Approximately 2.00pm during a modeling class, Jay requested me to help him with his assignment. He wanted some on how to model a realistic tree without using the paint brush. Am an expert in that area, so I gladly opted to help him. Five minutes later he still did not understand what I was telling, complaining I was too fast and not precise enough. Practically I felt he was wasting my time and I had sacrificed enough to help him. My impatient attitude took hold of me, and I began giving excuses why I cannot assist him any longer.

My behavioral pattern often manifest itself when I tend to be busy. This happens mostly when in class and trying to concentrate on something or if I have a deadline to meet. I ignore people most based on how much I know them or how we relate on our daily encounters. For instance, in the case of Jay, he was just an acquaintance, so I did not feel oblige to sacrifice my time. My impatience grows wild if the person I am trying to assist takes much time to understand, or if I like that person. If we have a bad encounter previously chance are I will not have time for them. For instance on Tuesday the same week, Nick whom we had an argument with sometimes back wanted some help in Maya; I turned him off and told him I do not know.

Gash and I relate well. Occasionally he asks for my assistance in class, and I do also during the same period I ignored Jay we were working together. Ours is a mutual relationship, I can sacrifice much time to help him in class even when I am busy. Although sometime I might ignore them. This behavior does not reflect only in class but outside of class, if am busy doing something I tend to focus lose myself in that task and ignore everybody else, even family. However, when am free am a very social person, and I can strike an exquisite conversation, and if I cannot get bored by that conversation, I ignore the person.

When I was not exhibiting this behavior, I was very inquisitive and made sure that person understood me precisely. I also created an excellent rapport with people around me and learned a lot of new things, and I previously didn't. In a group discussion on Wednesday 10/5/2017 Mercy who had earlier ignored taught me a new tactic in modeling that was helpful. When am exhibiting this behavior, I tend to be coarse and push people away.

My greatest communication problem is the lack of patience, and it is mostly exhibited when I tend to be very busy for a task, or my personal relationship with the specific person is bruised. It hinders me from connecting freely with the person and getting to understand them better or learn more from them. This behavior also bruises my relationship with individuals who are very close to me. Queuing, traffic or even waiting for a person is something I usually don't take very friendly, at the end of the day I am usually very drained from these experiences.
