There are dozens, perhaps hundreds or thousands of theories to explain this, but what it boils down to is connections. Humans have several basic physical and psychological needs. Beyond the obvious, water, shelter, food requirements, people also need to connect. Consider that we group up. We form families, neighborhoods, and communities. The primary means of doing this is communication, and boy do we communicate.

We transmit messages to each other by more than just speech. We have body language, facial expressions, we even share with each other in silence so se communicate by nothing more than proximity. And, the sole purpose for all of this information sharing is to connect.

That's the short of it.

How does communication affect the development of our personal identities?

Communication plays a crucial role in shaping our personal identities by influencing our sense of self-concept, self-esteem, and self-image.

Why is communication critical to developing self-concept when listening?

Communication is critical to developing self-concept when listening because it allows us to receive feedback, perspectives, and insights from others that can shape our understanding of ourselves. Through listening to others, we can gain valuable information about how we are perceived and how our actions impact those around us, leading to a deeper understanding of our own behaviors and beliefs. Additionally, effective communication during listening can help us practice empathy and validation, which are essential components of building a positive self-concept.
