Building relationships and connecting with others is an important skill to develop within oneself. I believe the most important part of connecting with others is being an attentive listener, which is a quality seen within myself. This is clear as I value others' opinions, when one needs my attention, I give them my attention and time, and I am always listening for a tone from others that they need my attention as well. Another important part of connecting with others is being sincere. Being sincere helps me connect with others because when one is genuine, or sincere, another person can feel that on a deeper level. They can feel that I care about them and that having a relationship with them is important to me.
