Living in society, you willingly and unwillingly enter into interpersonal relationships with various people. Meanwhile, all of your relationships can be classified and sorted out.
Personal and business
Your contacts can be roughly divided into personal and business. The first group includes all relatives, friends and relatives with whom you communicate outside of working hours and on your own initiative. The main difference between business contacts and personal contacts is that the first group includes all people with whom you interact on duty. In other words, these are your colleagues, partners, teachers, fellow students, and so on.
Please note that the same person you know can be related to both groups, for example, if you work with your friend, he will be both a personal contact and a business one.
It is customary to have a more formal relationship with business contacts. Do not be capricious in front of management or share personal problems with clients.
People who do not know how to clearly separate work and personal life may have communication problems.
The separation between business and personal contacts was not accidental. When a person does not get too close to colleagues and partners, it can be easier for him to solve work issues. There are times when friendship gets in the way of business.
With personal contacts, you can feel much freer and more relaxed. These are your relatives who love you not for professional achievements, but for what you are. These are friends with whom you have so much in common. They are just good buddies that you want to hang out with.
In general, these are the people who evoke personal sympathy or love in you.
It is important to strike a balance between business and personal communication. Without the first, you are unlikely to be able to take place as a professional, and the second allows you to feel loved and needed.
Positive and negative
Communication with different people can bring both negative and positive emotions. On this basis, it is also possible to distinguish between interpersonal relationships. Individuals who bring you only negative emotions, you can consider your enemies. And those who deliver positive, you probably call friends or good acquaintances.
Do not forget that whether your relationship with a particular person becomes negative or positive depends not only on this individual, but also on you. You can at some point take the situation into your own hands, show wisdom and correct the situation.
In addition, there is a neutral relationship. They happen to those people who do not cause your disapproval, but you also do not feel the desire to get closer to them. Such relationships are found mainly in business contacts.
