Facts and Inferences

F&I Page 1 Facts & Inferences Richard Melton 2/01/13 Fundamentals of Interpersonal communications 97 Zelda Togun F&I Page 2 Facts & InferencesIt was a veridical eye opener to see how much people make inferences when they arent sure what the real facts are. I noticed that even though I was taking notes and looking for inferences I am guilty of making them myself. For example, my lift out friends husband is at home all the time and they struggle to apply their bills. My friend is always asking me to loan her money. I was talking to my infant close to it and I told her I thought my friends husband was lazy and shouldnt be relying on her to take care of him.My sister agreed and we left field it at that. Later on that day my best friend called me and asked if I could help her till next payday. I said sure and asked her wherefore her husband isnt working. She told me he has bipolar disorder and cant hold a job, he has tried numerous times exactly has difficulty concentrating. The y were in the middle of applying for S. S. I and that it was a long pull out process. He is very ashamed of it and thats why nada get bys about it.I should of thought it through when I was talking to my sister in front I made the inference that he was lazy. Now that I know the truth I feel really bad for talking about him that way. F&I Page 3 References Wood, Julia T. (2010). Interpersonal Communication-7th Edition. Boston, MA.
