The concept of self originates in communication.Through verbal and nonverbal symbols，a child learns to accept roles in response to the expectations of others.You establish self­image.The sort of person you believe you are，by how others think of you.Positive，negative，and neutral messages that you receive from others all play a role in determining who you are.Communication itself is probably best understood as a dialogue process.Our understanding of communication comes from our interactions with other people.In a more obvious way，communication involves others in the sense that a competent communicator considers what the other person needs and expects when selecting messages to share.So，the communication begins with the self，as defined largely by others，and involves others，as defined largely by the self.

　　Communication occurs almost every minute of your life.If you are not communicating with yourself (thinking，planning，reacting to the world around you)，you are observing others and drawing inferences from their behaviors.Even if the other person did not intend a message for you.You gather observations and draw specific conclusions.A person yawns and you believe that person is bored with your message.A second person looks away from you and you conclude that person is not listening to you.A third person smiles (perhaps because of a memory of a joke he heard recently) and you believe that he is attracted to you.We are continually picking up meanings from others' behaviors and we are constantly providing behaviors that have communicative value for them.
