So they always say that "communication" is the key to a successful relationship!

~ As a child, did you always have strong communication skills with your parents?

~ If you have/haven't, is that affecting your social/love life as a grown up?

Yes, with mum more than dad

~ As a child, did you always have strong communication skills with your parents?
Yeah, specially with my dad.

Yeah, I know how to talk to different people from different backgrounds confidently, specially with men.

As a child, did you always have strong communication skills with your parents?

yes I have a strong relationship with my mom after my dad's death when I was 6. Our bond grew even stronger than it ever had been before.
But I dunno is having a strong relation means having a strong communication skills? I mean, though I'm close to my mom but sometimes I feel i'm still not good at the communication thing. Maybe because I am overwhelmed with respect to mom, sometimes it's hard to communicate with person you respect alot.

If you have/haven't, is that affecting your social/love life as a grown up?

Yes and No, It depends on the person. I think opening up to people can change things in you as well.

As a child, I don't think I used to communicate much with my parents. I remember keeping to myself alot, living in my own world lol. But as I became I teen I started talking a bit more to both my parents. Some topics are easier to speak with my mother rather than with my father but I feel close to both.

Hmm...I think it does affect me now how I communicated with them as a child, very much so. I didnt open up to them so much as a kid, and I still find it easier to deal with my problems on my own first then asking them or anyone else for help.

I've always had a strong communication relationship with my dad, am not sure to be honest but those who know me well hate my habits like switching off the phone or ignoring them when they try to change my ideas about things when we argue about a certain topic. I only do this to my friends though, I know its a bad habit but I can't help it :inno:

i was so absent-minded to communicate with anyone lol. lost in my own world, digging somewhere in the backyard knowing for sure there is a tiny door buried somewhere, lol.

i am somehow open with my mother, i can talk to her, but as Evana stated, sometimes you have so much respect for someone you just don't know how to communicate with them. my dad on the other hand, well..i never really got close to him. he either shuts me down or tell me he's always right and i'm always wrong..every time i tried..i kinda gave up long time ago.

i think i have terrible communication skills to the point that i became kinda anti-social.

As a child, did you always have strong communication skills with your parents?
Communication with my parents didn't affect me much as the communication when I was a kid.(10)
If you have/haven't, is that affecting your social/love life as a grown up?
I never had a love life, so I wouldn't know.

Social life, no, not really. my social life act right is simply the result of my experiences and own opinion.


Communication is simply the only way to socialize, it only has different methods.
